After Hans vdM's question I'm trying to enhance the table documentation in the wiki. I found the following a bit strange: \starttable[|l|l|] \HL \NC Command \VL Meaning \SR % or \NC\AR \HL \NC \tex{NC} \VL next column \AR \NC \tex{HL} \VL horizontal line \AR \NC \tex{VL} \VL vertical line \AR \NC \tex{NR} \VL next row \LR \HL \NC \tex{SR} \VL single row \AR \NC \tex{FR} \VL first row \AR \NC \tex{MR} \VL middle row \AR \NC \tex{LR} \VL last row \LR % or \NC\AR \HL \NC \tex{AR} \VL automatic row \SR % or \NC\AR \HL \stoptable - You can leave out the \NC before the row command, - but not with \AR in a last or single row. - If you use \AR in this case, you get a "missing column" error.
