tables within tabulate environment
Hi, I am working on some documents which are based on a table which is part of the text flow and may break between pages. So I use the tabulate environment. However now I need to include a table inside a tabulate cell, but this does not seem to work. How can I get around this? Best regards Frank

what kind of nesting? \starttabulate \NC test \NC \starttable[|||] \HL \VL test \VL test \VL \NR \HL \stoptable \NC \NR \stoptabulate nesting tabulates is not (yet) possible, i played a bit with it but it will cost me more time to handle it (due to soem global aspects) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similar to what you wrote: \starttabulate \NC test \NC Some text here, perhaps followed by an itemized list an a table \startitemize \item first item \item second item \stopitemize And some specifications in the following table: \starttabulatea \NC col1 row1 \NC col2 \NC\NR \stoptabulate \NC\NR \stoptabulate I tried a tabulate inside the tabulate as I was not sure that the table being a float would be moved somewhere else. Basically what I am trying to do is similar to HTML layout using nested tables within a running text. Regards, Frank On Tuesday, Sep 16, 2003, at 22:52 Europe/Brussels, Hans Hagen wrote:

in that case use the bTABLE .. eTABLE alternative which can handle nested tables given that they are {grouped} Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
