\section{Introduction}
This package allow vertical alignement of table cell
by providing \texttt{Z}, \texttt{L}, \texttt{C}, \texttt{R}, \texttt{J} and \texttt{I} column types
and \Verb$\nextRow$, \Verb$\lb$, \Verb$\setMultiColRow$, \Verb$\setMultiColumn$, \Verb$\setMultiRow$ and \Verb$\tableFormatedCell$ commands
for \texttt{tabular} and similar environment.
\section{Column types}
\subsection{\texttt{Z}}
\texttt{Z} column type have 6 arguments:
\begin{enumerate}
\item max width of cell
\item min width of cell (optional – can be empty)
\item horizontal align mode, supported values:
\begin{description}
\item[l] left
\item[c] center
\item[r] right
\item[j] justify
\end{description}
\item number of columns to span this cell
\item vertical align mode, supported values:
\begin{description}
\item[t] top
\item[m] middle
\item[b] bottom
\end{description}
\item number of rows to span this cell
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{\texttt{L}, \texttt{C}, \texttt{R} and \texttt{J}}
\texttt{L}, \texttt{C}, \texttt{R} and \texttt{J} column types are shortcuts for Z column type and have 3 arguments:
\begin{enumerate}
\item max width of cell
\item min width of cell (optional – can be empty)
\item vertical align mode, supported values:
\begin{description}
\item[t] top
\item[m] middle
\item[b] bottom
\end{description}
\end{enumerate}
\texttt{L} is left ragged column, \texttt{C} is center ragged column, \texttt{R} is right ragged column and \texttt{J} is justifying column.
\subsection{\texttt{I}}
\texttt{I} column type insert vertical frame line and have 3 arguments:
\begin{enumerate}
\item formatting command (eg. \Verb$\color$)
\item line width, second argument of \Verb$\hdashrule$
\item line style, third argument of \Verb$\hdashrule$
\end{enumerate}
\section{Commands}
\subsection{nextRow an lb}
{\bfseries Each row (even last) MUST be ended with \Verb$\nextRow$ command} (insted of \Verb$\\$ or \Verb$\tabularnewline$).
Line break in table cell can be do with \Verb$\lb$ (shortcut for \Verb$\linebreak$), \Verb$\linebreak$ or \Verb$\newline$.
\subsection{setMultiColRow}
\Verb$\setMultiColRow{col num}{row num}{max width}{min width}{hmode}{vmode}{left sep}{right sep}{text}$ command allow span cells on rows and columns create multi column at the same time.
It have 9 arguments:
\begin{description}
\item[col num] number of columns to span this cell
\item[row num] number of rows to span this cell
\item[max width] max width of cell
\item[min width] min width of cell (optional – can be empty)
\item[hmode] horizontal align mode, supported values:
\begin{description}
\item[l] left
\item[c] center
\item[r] right
\item[j] justify
\end{description}
\item[vmode] vertical align mode, supported values:
\begin{description}
\item[t] top
\item[m] middle
\item[b] bottom
\end{description}
\item[left sep] left cell frame element
\item[right sep] right cell frame element
\item[text] cell content
\end{description}
\Verb$\setMultiColRow$ command MUST be repeated in each row of multirow set.
Only first call CAN (and MUST) have not empty last argument (cell content).
Every next call of \Verb$\setMultiColRow$ in single multirow set MUST have empty last argument (cell content).
\subsection{setMultiColumn}
\Verb$\setMultiColumn{col num}{max width}{min width}{hmode}{vmode}{left sep}{right sep}{text}$ command allow create multi column cell.
It have 8 arguments meaningful as corresponding args in \Verb$\setMultiColRow$ command.
\subsection{setMultiRow}
\Verb$\setMultiRow{col num}[minimal height]{text}$ command allow create multi row cell.
Next cells in multirow set should be empty.
Horizontal lines between cells in multirow set should be manualy removed (via setting \Verb$\hhline$ parametrs).
\subsection{tableFormatedCell}
\Verb$\tableFormatedCell{max width}[min width]{hmode}{vmode}$ command allow change formatting for single cell.
It have 4 arguments meaningful as corresponding args in \Verb$\setMultiColRow$ command.
\subsection{forceRowHeight}
\Verb$\forceRowHeight{value}$ enforce current row minimum height to value.
