Re: [NTG-context] Table in header, or multicolumn header

16 Dec 2013

      Wolfgang,

Your solution seems to work perfectly: I get exactly what I want (I only
have to remove frames around cells).

I don't understand the possible problems: are you saying that if I use
xtables in the body of the document (other than in the header), and
those tables split across pages it could give unexpected behaviours?

What if I don't use xtables in the body, but other tabular environments
that allow splitting, such as TABLE or Linetable (I'm reading from the
wiki, I never used that)?

Thank you very much!

Bye,

Marco Pallante

You can try to use a table but there is a possibility for problems when you use xtables
in your document which are split across pages.
