Is there any mechanism to span ROWS in (\start)tables similar to column spanning through \use{3}{}? The aim is to produce a multi-row column entry as can be done via \bTD[nr=3] in \bTABLE.

\NC \use{3} ... \NC ...

or

\NC \THREE ... \NC ...

This mechanism spans COLUMNS not rows.

I would like to produce --------- | | b | | |---| | A | c | | |---| | | d | --------- using \starttables, as can be done with: \setupTABLE[c][1][align=lohi] \bTABLE \bTR \bTC[nr=3] A \eTC\bTC b \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC c \eTC \eTR \bTR \bTC d \eTC \eTR \eTABLE

Note that: \starttables[|c|c|] \HL \VL \VL b \VL\AR \DC \DL \DR \VL A \VL c \VL\AR \DC \DL \DR \VL \VL d \VL\LR \HL \stoptables does not quite do the job, since the aim is to put a tall object "A" spanning the three rows.

You can use \LOW and \LOWER. See http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb29-1/tb91mahajan.pdf Section 6. Aditya
