-Subject: TeX Inputs cellular.tex (table-generating macros)
-Keywords: macros
-
-Several months ago, someone sent in a request for macros that allow vertical
-and horizontal spans within a ruled table. There have also been questions
-about `nubs' and `gaps' within ruled tables.
-
-After thinking about the problem for a while, I realized that a solution was to
-abandon the \halign primitive and start from scratch.
-
-I have finished my first attempt at a set of table generating macros, which I
-have chosen to call Cellular.TeX. These macros allow for both vertical and
-horizontal spans and take steps to prevent `nubs' and `gaps' when rules are
-used.
-
-They are, unfortunately, very slow and I have not been able to increase their
-speed without sacrificing memory conservation and generality.
-
-I am sending the macros under separate cover since there are nearly 1,000 lines
-of code involved, divided into five files. Detailed comments are available in
-the file TeX Inputs cellular.doc.
