-<h3>Diagonal separation in corner cells of tables</h3>
-<!-- tabular -->
-<p/>You want to label both the top or bottom row and the left- or
-rightmost column, somewhere at the corner of the table where the row
-and column meet. A simple way to achieve the result is to construct
-the table with an arrangement of rules (and possibly <code>\</code><code>multicolumn</code>
-entries), to look like:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
------------------
-x y
- --------------
- 1 2 3 4 5
------------------
-1
-2
-3
-4
-5
------------------
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-However, this doesn&#8217;t satisfy everyone: many want the labelling in a
-single cell at the top left of the table. It sounds a simple enough
-requirement, yet it calls for some slightly tricky LaTeX coding.
-The <i>slashbox</i> package does the job for you: it defines
-commands <code>\</code><code>slashbox</code> and <code>\</code><code>backslashbox</code>, each taking the two
-labels as arguments. It draws a picture with the two labels on either
-side of a slanting line; the command (and hence the picture) may be
-placed in the corner cell, where the labelled row and column meet.
-<p/>The package isn&#8217;t the world&#8217;s neatest: it uses LaTeX
-<code>picture</code> mode to draw its line, and picture mode has many
-tedious restrictions (and doesn&#8217;t, in all honesty, produce
-particularly good pictures). Load slashbox with the <i>pict2e</i>
-package, and at least the picture quality will be improved.
-<p/>Documentation of <i>slashbox</i> is less than satisfactory: a
-LaTeX source file of rather startling starkness accompanies the
-package file in the distribution, and the distribution includes that
-file processed to a PDF file for reading over the net, if
-necessary. (The third example in the file shows the effect of
-<code>picture</code> mode&#8217;s restrictions: the dividing line doesn&#8217;t
-go from corner to corner in the box: to correct this requires revision
-of <i>slashbox</i> &#8212; <i>pict2e</i> alone doesn&#8217;t help in this
-regard.)
