% \section{Introduction}
% These packages offer a series of extensions to the standard \LaTeX{}
% \environment{tabular} environment.  Their respective functions are:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\Package{multirow}] which provides a construction for table cells
%   that span more than one row of the table;
% \item[\Package{bigstrut}] which creates struts which (slightly) stretch
%   the table row in which they sit.
% \item[\Package{bigdelim}] which creates an appropriately-sized
%   delimiter (for example, brace, parenthesis or bracket) to fit in a
%   single multirow, to indicate a relationship between other rows; and
% \end{description}

%
% \section{Using \Package{multirow}}\label{sec:multirow}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\multirow}
% \cs{multirow} sets a piece of text in a \environment{tabular} or
% similar environment, spanning multiple rows. We will call the block of
% rows and columns that the text spans the multirow block. Usually this
% covers one column, but by combining it with \cs{multicolumn} more
% columns can be covered.
% \changes{v2.1}{2016/10/06}{Rename \meta{fixup} to \meta{vmove} in the
% documentation as in The LaTeX Companion.}
%
% The basic syntax is:
% \begin{quote}
%   \cmd{\multirow}\oarg{vpos}\marg{nrows}\oarg{bigstruts}\marg{width}\oarg{vmove}\marg{text}
% \end{quote}
% where
% \begin{description}
% \item[\meta{vpos}] defines the vertical positioning of the text in the multirow block.
% The default is \texttt{[c]} which means the text will be vertically centered.
% Other options are \texttt{[t]} for top alignment and \texttt{[b]} for bottom alignment.
% \item[\meta{nrows}] is the number of rows to span.  You should
%   leave the other rows empty at this column, otherwise the stuff created by \cs{multirow}
%   will over-write it. With a positive value of \meta{nrows} the
%   spanned columns are this row and (\meta{nrows}-1) rows below
%   it. With a negative value of \meta{nrows} they are this row and
%   (1-\meta{nrows}) above it. Fractional values are permitted for
%   \meta{nrows}; this allows for some fine-tuning.
%
% \item[\meta{bigstruts}] is mainly used if you've used the
%   \Package{bigstrut} package.  In that case it is the total number of uses of
%   \cs{bigstrut} within the rows being spanned.  Count 2 uses for each
%   \cs{bigstrut}, 1 for each \cs{bigstrut}\oarg{x} where \meta{x} is
%   either \texttt{t} or \texttt{b}.  The default is 0.
%
% The \meta{bigstruts} parameter can optionally be preceded by a prefix
% letter \texttt{t}, \texttt{b} or \texttt{tb} for finer control. See
% section \ref{sect-refine-bigstrut} for details. The letter may be
% separated from the number by a space character.
%
% \item[\meta{width}] is the width to which the text is to be set.
% Special values are \texttt{*} to indicate that the text parameter's natural width is to
%   be used, and \texttt{=} to indicate that the specified width of the column in
%   which the \cs{multirow} entry is set should be used.
%
% \item[\meta{vmove}] is a length used for fine-tuning: the text will be
%   raised (or lowered, if \meta{vmove} is negative) by that length
%   above (below) wherever it would otherwise have gone.
%
% \item[\meta{text}] is the actual text of the construct.  If the width
%   was set explicitly, the text will be set in a \cs{parbox} of that
%   width; you can use \bsbs{} to force linebreaks where you like.
%
%   If the width was given as \texttt{*} the text will be set in LR
%   mode.  If you want a multiline entry in this case you could use a
%   \environment{tabular} or \environment{array} environment in the text
%   parameter. See for example the \environment{minitab} below.
%
% The width can also be given as \texttt{=} when the \cs{multirow} entry is given in a
% column that has a defined width, for example in a \texttt{p\{\}} column, an
% \texttt{X} column in \environment{tabularx} or a \texttt{L}, \texttt{C},
% \texttt{R} or \texttt{J} column in a \environment{tabulary} environment.
% The text will be set in a \cs{parbox} of that width.
% If you give ``\texttt{=}'' in other situations, you will get strange
% results (usually a too wide column).
%
% \end{description}
%
% In \Package{multirow} version 2.4 and later, the \meta{width} and
% \meta{vmove} arguments can be given as \Package{calc} expressions if
% the \Package{calc} package is loaded. It is the responsibility of the
% document writer to include the \Package{calc} package;
% \Package{multirow} does not do this.
%
% N.B. \cs{multirow} can be used in the \environment{tabular} environment and
% most derivatives of it, for example \environment{tabularx},
% \environment{tabulary}, \environment{supertabular}, \environment{ltablex},
% \environment{xtab}, \environment{longtable}, \environment{tabu},
% \environment{booktabs} and \environment{ctable}. For some of these you
% have to pay special attention to certain cases, see below.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\multirowsetup}
% Just before \meta{text} is expanded, the \cs{multirowsetup} macro is
% expanded to set up any special environment.  Initially,
% \cs{multirowsetup} contains just \cs{raggedright}.  It may be
% redefined with \cs{renewcommand}.
%
% If you want to use both \cs{multirow} and \cs{multicolumn}
% \index{multicolumn=\verb!*+\multicolumn+|usage}
% on the same entry, you must put the \cs{multirow} inside the
% \cs{multicolumn}. The other way around will not work.
% For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \multicolumn{2}{c}{\multirow{3}{*}{Multi-multi}}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \subsection{Package Options}
% \label{sec:package-options}
%
% \DescribeMacro{multirowdebugtrue}
% \DescribeMacro{multirowdebugfalse}
% The following options are defined:
% \begin{description}
% \item[debug]
% This option causes information about multirow boxes
% to be written to the log file. This is done by the \TeX{} \cs{showbox}
% command. Note: this will cause the \LaTeX{} compilation to be considered
% failed, even if there is no real error.
% This option can also be activated anywhere in the document with the
% command \cs{multirowdebugtrue} and deactivated with
% \cs{multirowdebugfalse}. When such a command is placed just before a
% \cs{multirow}, it applies only to that specific \cs{multirow} entry.
% \item[longtable]
% The \texttt{longtable} option redefines the \cs{cline} macro to work
% around a bug in the \Package{longtable} package. See section \ref{sec:use-with-longtable}.
% \end{description}

%
% A few observations about this example:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item  The middle column is the \cs{multirow}. You would expect it to
% be vertically centered, but it isn't. This is because \cs{multirow}
% doesn't know the height of the box. The only estimate \cs{multirow}
% can make about the height is the number of rows${}\times{}$the normal
% height of a row. It tries to center the text in that space, but that space
% is too low in this example. Therefore the text is at the top of the
% box. If you want it to be centered, you have to supply a \meta{vmove}
% argument to shift it down.
% \item We have used an \cs{extrarowheight}\footnote{This is only
% available with the \Package{array} package, which \Package{tabulary}
% includes automatically.} of 2pt, to make a bit room between the
% \cs{hline} and the following text. However, this is not applied to the
% \cs{multirow}, because this is thought to be centered. In this case
% you can give the \meta{vpos} argument as \texttt{[t]}, in which case
% \cs{multirow} will do the proper positioning.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% Now with a negative \meta{nrows}.
%
% \begin{quote}
% \index{extrarowheight=\verb!*+\extrarowheight+|usage}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}
% \begin{tabulary}{11cm}{|L|L|L|}
%   \hline
%   All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. &
%   & Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. \\
% \cline{1-1}\cline{3-3}
%      No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the
%      slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. &
%      \multirow{-2}{=}[12mm]{Everyone is entitled to all the rights and
%      freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of
%      any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion,
%      political or other opinion, national or social origin, property,
%      birth or other status.}
%   & No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or
%   degrading treatment or punishment. \\
% \hline
% \end{tabulary}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \begin{quote}
% \index{extrarowheight=\verb!*+\extrarowheight+|usage}
% \setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}
% \begin{tabulary}{11cm}{|L|L|L|}

% \hline
% \end{tabulary}
% \end{quote}
%
% In this case the text would be centered somewhere in the
% bottom row, which would make it stick out of the bottom. Therefore we
% applied a \meta{vmove} of 12mm. The \meta{vmove} usually requires some experimentation.
%
% \subsection{Fine-Tuning}
% \label{sec:fine-tuning}
%
% If any of the spanned rows are unusually large, or if you're using the
% \Package{bigstrut} package and \cs{bigstrut}s are used asymetrically about the
% centerline of the spanned rows, the vertical centering may not come
% out right.  Use the \meta{vmove} parameter in this case. Sometimes it
% may be more helpful to just use a larger value for \meta{nrows},
% including fractional values. See an example in section~\ref{sec:dealing-with-tall}.
%
% It's just about impossible to deal correctly with descenders.  The
% text will be set up centered, but it may then have a baseline that
% doesn't match the baseline of the stuff beside it, in particular if
% the stuff beside it has descenders and \meta{text} does not.  This may
% result in a small misalignment.  About all that can be done is to do a
% final touchup on \meta{text}, using the \meta{vmove} optional parameter.
% (Hint:  If you use a measure like \texttt{.1ex}, there's a reasonable
% chance that the \meta{vmove} will still be correct if you change the point
% size.)
%
% \cs{multirow} is mainly designed for use with \environment{tabular}, as
% opposed to \environment{array}, environments.  It might not work well in an
% array environment if there are big formulas in some rows; in that case you can use the
% \meta{vmove} parameter to refine the result.
%
% In some cases you might want to align the multirow entry with the top
% of the other row cells, for example if you have a large capital in it.
% when you use \meta{vpos} = \texttt{[t]}, the baselines will be
% aligned, which is the wrong thing in this case. You can then do the
% positioning with the \meta{vmove} parameter and let \LaTeX{} calculate
% the amount. For example:
%
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage{calc}
% \newlength{\shiftdown}
% \setlength{\shiftdown}{\heightof{\Huge\bfseries B}-\heightof{f}}
% . . .
% \begin{tabular}{cll}
%   \toprule
%   \multirow[t]{5}{*}[-\shiftdown]{\Huge\bfseries B}
%                     & foo  & Lorem ipsum dolor sit    \\
%                     & bar  & Maecenas sed purus       \\
%                     & baz  & Nullam luctus id tellus  \\
%                     & qux  & Aenean consequat commodo \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \begin{quote}
% \newlength{\shiftdown}
% \setlength{\shiftdown}{\heightof{\Huge\bfseries B}-\heightof{f}}
% \begin{tabular}{cll}
%   \toprule
%   \multirow[t]{5}{*}[-\shiftdown]{\Huge\bfseries B}
%                     & foo  & Lorem ipsum dolor sit    \\
%                     & bar  & Maecenas sed purus       \\
%                     & baz  & Nullam luctus id tellus  \\
%                     & qux  & Aenean consequat commodo \\
%   \bottomrule
% \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
% In \Package{multirow} version 2.4 and later you can also directly use the expression
% \verb|-\heightof{\Huge\bfseries B}-\heightof{f}| instead of \verb|-\shiftdown| for the \meta{vmove} argument.
%
% \subsection{Multirow and colored cells}\label{sec:mult-color-cells}
%
% If you use \cs{multirow} with the \Package{colortbl} package (or the
% \index{colortbl=\Package{colortbl}|usage}
% \Package{xcolor} package with the \texttt{[table]} option) you have
% \index{xcolor=\Package{xcolor}|usage}
% to take precautions if you want to color the column that has the
% \cs{multirow} in it.  The \Package{colortbl} package works by coloring each cell
% separately.  So if you use \cs{multirow} with a positive \meta{nrows}
% value, \Package{colortbl} will first color the top cell, then
% \cs{multirow} will typeset \meta{nrows} cells starting with this cell,
% and later \Package{colortbl} will color the other cells, effectively
% hiding the text in that area.  This can be solved by putting the
% \cs{multirow} in the last row with a negative \meta{nrows} value.
% See, for example:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{l>{\columncolor{yellow}}l}
%   aaaa & \\
%   cccc & \\
%   dddd & \multirow{-3}*{bbbb}\\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% which will produce:
% \begin{quote}
%   \begin{tabular}{l>{\columncolor{yellow}}l}
%     aaaa & \\
%     cccc & \\
%     dddd & \multirow{-3}*{bbbb}\\
%   \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
%
% \index{hhline=\Package{hhline}|usage}
% When you use colored multirow cells together with the
% \Package{hhline} package you may find some white stripes in your
% colored multirow cell. For example:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \begin{tabular}{|>{\columncolor{red}}c|c|}
%   \hline
%   \bfseries ColumnOne & \bfseries ColumnTwo\\ \hline
%   First data & 932\\ \hline
%    & 239\\ \hhline{|~|-|}
%    & 137\\ \hhline{|~|-|}
%   \multirow{-3}{*}{More data} & 319\\ \hline
%   Last data & 132\\ \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \begin{quote}
%   \begin{tabular}{|>{\columncolor{red}}c|c|}
%   \hline
%   \bfseries ColumnOne & \bfseries ColumnTwo\\ \hline
%   First data & 932\\ \hline
%    & 239\\ \hhline{|~|-|}
%    & 137\\ \hhline{|~|-|}
%   \multirow{-3}{*}{More data} & 319\\ \hline
%   Last data & 132\\ \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
%
% This can be solved by putting colored horizontal rules with the same
% color in the colored multirow cell.
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \begin{tabular}{|>{\columncolor{red}}c|c|}

% \subsection{Fine-tuning the \meta{bigstruts} argument}
% \label{sect-refine-bigstrut}
%
% \cs{multirow} can calculate the height of the required multirow box
% from \meta{nrows} and \meta{bigstruts}, supposed that all the rows
% don't have  ``unusual'' heights. However, there are cases when this is
% not enough to properly position the box, especially when there is a
% \cs{bigstrut} on top of the first row and/or one on the bottom of the
% last row. In that case \cs{multirow} should be given additional
% information. This is done by prefixing the \meta{bigstruts} argument
% with a letter (or two) indicating which of these two are present.
%
% See the following examples:\\ (in these examples we have
% \verb+\setlength{\bigstrutjot}{10pt}+ to make the effect clearly visible)\\[5mm]
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.23\linewidth}
%   \setlength{\bigstrutjot}{10pt}
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     \multirow{3}[1]{*}{Multirow} & T \bigstrut[t] \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  B \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular} \\[2mm]
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     \multirow{3}[t 1]{*}{Multirow} & T \bigstrut[t] \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  B \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[c]{0.75\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     \multirow{3}[1]{*}{Multirow} & T \bigstrut[t] \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  B \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \\[5mm]
% In the top box in the above example the text ``Multirow'' should be centered, but it
% is a bit below the center, because of the \cs{bigstrut[t]} in the top
% row. We can correct this by giving the \meta{bigstruts} parameter as
% ``t 1'', indicating a bigstrut in the top. This is done in the bottom box, where
% \verb+\multirow{3}[t 1]{*}{Multirow}+ is used.
%
% A second example:\\[5mm]
% \begin{minipage}{0.23\linewidth}
%   \setlength{\bigstrutjot}{10pt}
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     & T \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     \multirow[t]{-3}[1]{*}{Multirow} &  B \bigstrut[b] \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular} \\[2mm]
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     & T \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     \multirow[t]{-3}[b 1]{*}{Multirow} &  B \bigstrut[b] \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}{0.75\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
%     \hline
%     & T \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     &  X \\
%     \cline{2-2}
%     \multirow[t]{-3}[1]{*}{Multirow} &  B \bigstrut[b] \\
%     \hline
%   \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \\[5mm]
% In the top box the \verb+\multirow[t]+ should be positioned on the
% same height as the \texttt{T}, but it is too high, because there is a
% \cs{bigstrut} in the bottom. We can correct that by specifying the
% \meta{bigstruts} argument as ``b 1'', i.e. using
% \verb+\multirow[t]{-3}[b 1]{*}{Multirow}+.
% \\[5mm]
% The possibilities for the prefix are:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\texttt{t}] There is a bigstrut in the top, i.e. a \cs{bigstrut}
% or \cs{bigstrut[t]} in the top row.
% \item[\texttt{b}] There is a bigstrut in the bottom, i.e. a \cs{bigstrut}
% or \cs{bigstrut[b]} in the bottom row.
% \item[\texttt{tb}] They are both present. Note: this cannot be given
% as \texttt{bt}.
% \end{description}
% The space between the letter(s) and the number is optional.
% Please note that the prefix does not depend on whether the
% \cs{multirow} is in the top or the bottom row.
%
% \subsection{Use with \Package{longtable}}
% \label{sec:use-with-longtable}
%
% \index{longtable=\environment{longtable}|usage}
% \index{longtabu=\environment{longtabu}|usage}
% It is possible to use \cs{multirow} in a \environment{longtable}
% environment (as well as in its descendent \environment{longtabu}).
% However, care must be taken that the longtable doesn't break the
% multirow entry when it is near the bottom of the page. For example:
%
% \noindent
% \begin{minipage}[t]{0.4\linewidth}
% \begin{longtable}{|l|l|l|}
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \hline
% Sept. 21 & 09:00 & event 1 \\
% \hline
% Sept. 22 & 10:00 & event 2 \\
% \hline
% \multirow{3}*{Sept. 23} & 10:00 & event 3 \\
%                         & 12:00 & event 4 \\
%                         & 15:00 & event 5 \\
% \hline
% Sept. 24 & 09:00 & event 6 \\
% \hline
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \end{longtable}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}[t]{0.58\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{longtable}{|l|l|l|}
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \hline
% Sept. 21 & 09:00 & event 1 \\
% \hline
% Sept. 22 & 10:00 & event 2 \\
% \hline
% \multirow{3}*{Sept. 23} & 10:00 & event 3 \\
%                         & 12:00 & event 4 \\
%                         & 15:00 & event 5 \\
% \hline
% Sept. 24 & 09:00 & event 6 \\
% \hline
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \end{longtable}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
%
% In this case if the ``Sept. 23'' entry comes close to the bottom of the
% page, you want to prevent the pagebreak to occur in the middle of this
% entry. You can do this by ending the intermediate rows with \verb+\\*+ instead of \verb+\\+.
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \multirow{3}*{Sept. 23} & 10:00 & event 3 \\*
%                         & 12:00 & event 4 \\*
%                         & 15:00 & event 5 \\
% \end{verbatim}
%
% There is, however, a bug in \Package{longtable}, that causes the
% \verb+\\*+ not to work if it is followed by a \cs{cline}, like in the
% following example:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \multirow{3}*{Sept. 23} & 10:00 & event 3 \\*
% \cline{2-3}
%                         & 12:00 & event 4 \\*
% \cline{2-3}
%                         & 15:00 & event 5 \\
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \Package{multirow} has a package option \texttt{longtable} that redefines
% \cs{cline} so that the \verb+\\*+ will also work when followed by
% \cs{cline}. The code comes from David Carlisle.
%
% \subsection{Use with \Package{supertabular}}
% \label{sec:use-with-supertabular}
%
% \index{supertabular=\environment{supertabular}|usage}
% \index{xtab=\environment{xtab}|usage}
% With the package \Package{supertabular} (or the augmented version
% \Package{xtab}) there is the same requirement
% to keep the rows of a multirow together when a pagebreak occurs.
% Unfortunately, \Package{supertabular} does not have a way to specify
% that a pagebreak should be suppressed. I.e. \verb+\\*+ does not
% suppress a pagebreak.
% Therefore \Package{multirow} provides a package option
% \texttt{supertabular} that redefines \verb+\\*+ inside a
% \environment{supertabular} to suppress the pagebreak. You should use
% this to end the intermediate rows in a multirow block. However, this
% does not cause \environment{supertabular} to consider breaking the
% page before the \cs{multirow}, contrary to \environment{longtable}.
% Thus the table may become too long.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\STneed}
% Therefore when the \texttt{supertabular} option is given,
% \Package{multirow} also provides a command \cs{STneed} to be used
% in a \environment{supertabular} that specifies how much space we need
% on the page. Then if there is not enough space, a pagebreak will occur
% at that place. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \tabletail{\hline}
% \begin{supertabular}{|l|l|l|}
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \hline
% Sept. 20 & 10:00 & event 1\\
% \hline
% Sept. 21 & 10:00 & event 2\\
% \hline
% Sept. 22 & 10:00 & event 3\\
% \hline
% \STneed {2cm}
% \multirow{3}*{Sept. 23} & 10:00 & event 4\\*
% \cline{2-3}
%                         & 12:00 & event 5 \\*
% \cline{2-3}
%                         & 15:00 & event 6 \\
% \hline
%  Sept. 24 & 09:00 & event 7 \\
% \hline
% \ldots & \ldots & \ldots \\
% \end{verbatim}
%
% You will have to experiment a bit with the value to see
% what works. Sometimes it is better to exaggerate the required space a bit.
%
% \subsection{Dealing with tall entries}
% \label{sec:dealing-with-tall}
%
% Sometimes there are rows that are taller than what is expected. This
% section gives some hints how to deal with these situations. There are
% two cases:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item When there is an exceptionally tall row outside of the multirow
% block the positioning of the \cs{multirow} might be wrong. This is
% because \cs{multirow} does not have information about the heights
% of the rows. This can happen for example when a large formula is
% entered in a cell, or a multi-line paragraph in a \texttt{[\{\}]}
% column. An example:
%
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{| l | l | p{4cm} |}
%   \hline
%   \multirow{3}*{Week 38} & Monday & Rain most of the day\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Tuesday & Sunny with some clouds\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Wednesday & A clear day with a lot of sunshine.
%                     However, the strong wind will bring down the
%                     temperature. \\
%   \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
%  \end{quote}
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{tabular}{| l | l | p{4cm} |}
%   \hline
%   \multirow{3}*{Week 38} & Monday & Rain most of the day\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Tuesday & Sunny with some clouds\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Wednesday & A clear day with a lot of sunshine.
%                     However, the strong wind will bring down the
%                     temperature. \\
%   \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
% The \cs{multirow} is positioned on the second row, because it
% specifies that it should cover 3 rows. However, the second row is not
% the vertical center in this case because the third row is much taller.
%
% To remedy this, the \meta{vmove} parameter could be used. However, in
% this case it would be easier to pretend that \cs{multirow} spans 6
% rows (the total number of lines in the last column). So use
% \verb+\multirow{6}+\ldots{} and we get:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{tabular}{| l | l | p{4cm} |}
%   \hline
%   \multirow{6}*{Week 38} & Monday & Rain most of the day\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Tuesday & Sunny with some clouds\\
%   \cline{2-3}
%                     & Wednesday & A clear day with a lot of sunshine.
%                     However, the strong wind will bring down the
%                     temperature. \\
%   \hline
% \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
% \item The second case is when the \cs{multirow} entry is taller than
% the surrounding normal rows. In that case the multirow text will stick
% out of its block. We must now enlarge the other rows, and that is
% something \cs{multirow} cannot do.
%
% An example:
% (Don't take this as a medical advice. The names are fake anyway.)
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{| p{2mm} l | p{5cm} |}

%
% The second way is to stretch the normal rows vertically, such that
% they fit with the multirow entry. In this table, where the font size
% is 10pt,  each row has a total
% height of 12pt. For the first entry we need 24pt extra (2 rows),
% Because this space must be divided over 3 rows that is 8pt per row,
% making the total height of the row 20pt.
% The normal row has a height of 8.4pt and a depth of 3.6pt (total
% 12pt). We can add 4pt on the top and 4pt on the bottom, or any other
% combination that adds up to 8pt. In this case I have chosen to make
% the height 12pt and the depth 8pt. We do this with a \cs{rule} with 0 width.
% \DescribeMacro{\mystrut}
% \verb+\newcommand{\mystrut}{\rule[-8pt]{0pt}{20pt}}+
% and put \cs{mystrut} in each of the first 3 rows. By defining your own
% struts you have complete control over the layout. You can choose to
% give some rows more space than others, or to put all the space is the
% last row, for example.
%
% For the second entry we need 48pt extra (4 rows). We will use
% \cs{bigstrut} in each row, that is 16pt per row, and as a \cs{bigstrut} is
% 2\cs{bigstrutjot}s, we set \cs{bigstrutjot} to 8pt. The
% \Package{booktabs} package adds some extra vertical space around the rules,
% therefore when using the normal \environment{tabular} environment, it
% is probably better to make the struts a little bit bigger, or a bit
% smaller with \Package{booktabs}. After some experimentation it appeared
% that a \cs{bigstrutjot} of \texttt{7pt} was enough. Of course we added
% the \meta{bigstruts} argument of \texttt{[tb6]} to the second
% multirow. Please note that this is not possible with our own struts,
% unless we cheat.

%
% \DescribeMacro{\bigstrut}
% \DescribeMacro{\bigstrutjot}
% \cs{bigstrut}\oarg{x} produces a strut (a rule with width 0) which is \cs{bigstrutjot}
% (\texttt{2pt} by default) higher, lower, or both than the standard
% \environment{array}/\environment{tabular} strut.  Use it in table entries that are adjacent to
% \cs{hline}s to leave an extra bit of space\,---\,according to the
% TeXbook (page 246), ``This is a little touch that improves the
% appearance of boxed tables; look for it as a mark of quality.''
%
% Although you could use \cs{bigstrut} in an array, there isn't normally
% much point since arrays are `opened up' by \cs{jot} anyway.
%
% \cs{bigstrut[t]} adds height; \cs{bigstrut[b]}  adds
% depth.  Just \cs{bigstrut} adds both.  So:  Use
% \cs{bigstrut[t]} in the row just \emph{after} an \cs{hline};
% \cs{bigstrut[b]} in the row just \emph{before}; and
% \cs{bigstrut} if there are \cs{hline}s both before and after.
%
% Spaces after the \cs{bigstrut} are ignored, even if it has an optional
% argument.  Spaces before the \cs{bigstrut} are generally ignored (by a
% single \cs{unskip}).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bigstrutjot}
% Note: The \Package{multirow} package makes use of \cs{bigstrutjot}.  If
% both packages are used, they can be used in either order, as each checks
% to see if the other has already defined \cs{bigstrutjot}.  However,
% the default values they set are different: if only \Package{multirow}
% is used, \cs{bigstrutjot} will be set to \texttt{3pt}.
% If \Package{bigstrut} is used, with or without \Package{multirow},
% \cs{bigstrutjot} will be \texttt{2pt}.
%
% \section{Using \Package{bigdelim}}
%
% The package is for working in a \environment{tabular} or \environment{array}
% environment, in which the \Package{multirow} package is also used.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ldelim}
% \DescribeMacro{\rdelim}
% Syntax of use is
% \begin{quote}
%   \cs{ldelim} ( \marg{n}\marg{width}\oarg{text}\\
%   \cs{rdelim} ) \marg{n}\marg{width}\oarg{text}
% \end{quote}
% The commands are used in a column of a \environment{tabular} or
% \environment{array}; they create a big parenthesis, brace or whatever
% delimiter that extends over the \meta{n} rows starting at the one
% containing the command.  Corresponding cells in the following rows
% must be explicitly given as empty cells.
%
% The first parameter is a delimiter to be used, e.g., \cs{\char`\{}
% \cs{\char`\}} \texttt{[} \texttt{]} \texttt{(} \texttt{)}\,---\,in fact,
% anything that can be used with \cs{left} or \cs{right}, as appropriate.
%
% Here is an example:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{equation}
%   \begin{array}{ccccccc}
%     \ldelim({4}{4mm} & x & x & x & x & \rdelim){4}{4mm}  \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  & i \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  & j \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  \\
%     &   & u & v &   &
%   \end{array}
% \end{equation}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
%
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{equation}
%   \begin{array}{ccccccc}
%     \ldelim({4}{4mm} & x & x & x & x & \rdelim){4}{4mm}  \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  & i \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  & j \\
%     & x & x & x & x &  \\
%     &   & u & v &   &
%   \end{array}
% \end{equation}
% \end{quote}
%
% When \cs{ldelim} is used, the optional \meta{text} is set centred to the left of \cs{ldelim}.
% If \cs{rdelim} is used it is set to the right of \cs{rdelim}.  The
% \meta{width} parameter is the space that is reserved for
% the delimiter and its text; as with the
% \Package{multirow} package, the \meta{width} may be given as
% \texttt{*}. Compare for example these:
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{p{2em}l}
%   \ldelim\{{3}{*}[type] & dvi \\
%                         & ps \\
%                         & pdf \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
% \begin{tabular}{p{2em}l}
%   \ldelim\{{3}{*}[type] & dvi \\
%                             & ps \\
%                             & pdf \\
%    \end{tabular}
%    \\[2ex]
% \end{minipage}
%
% \begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{l@{\,}l}
%   \ldelim\{{3}{*}[type] & dvi \\
%                         & ps \\
%                         & pdf \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
%   \begin{tabular}{l@{\,}l}
%   \ldelim\{{3}{*}[type] & dvi \\
%                          & ps \\
%                          & pdf \\
%   \end{tabular}
%   \\[2ex]
% \end{minipage}
% \end{quote}
% In the first example we cheated: by using a column width that is too
% small, we swallowed up some of the intercolumn space, at the cost of
% an ``Overfull \cs{hbox}'' message. In the second example we did it the
% proper way by inserting \verb+@{\,}+ to replace the default
% intercolumn space with a narrow space.
%
% Also the commands may be
% used in the last row of the extension with a negative \meta{n}
% \index{colortbl=\Package{colortbl}|usage}
% argument.  This is useful in combination with the \Package{colortbl}
% \index{xcolor=\Package{xcolor}|usage}
% or \Package{xcolor} packages
% (see the discussion in section \ref{sec:multirow} on \Package{multirow}).
% If there are unusually tall rows you may have to enlarge \meta{n}
% (you can use fractional values).
% If you have horizontal lines that interact with the braces you are
% \index{hhline=\Package{hhline}|usage}
% advised to use the \Package{hhline} package to make the lines.
%
% If you decrease or eliminate the intercolumn space with \verb|@{}| and
% use colored backgrounds with the \Package{colortbl} or
% \Package{xcolor} packages (commands \verb|\columncolor|,
% \verb|\rowcolor|, \verb|\rowcolors| or \verb|\cellcolor|),
% \index{columncolor=\verb!*+\columncolor+|usage}
% \index{rowcolor=\verb!*+\rowcolor+|usage}
% \index{rowcolors=\verb!*+\rowcolors+|usage}
% \index{cellcolor=\verb!*+\cellcolor+|usage}
% you will notice that part of the brace will be cut off. In reality it
% will be overwritten with the color of the next cell. See this example:
%
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \rowcolors{2}{green!25}{green!75}
% \begin{tabular}{ c @{}c c c }
%                  & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
%                  & 4 & 5 & 6 \\
% \ldelim\{{-3}{*} & 7 & 8 & 9 \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
% \rowcolors{2}{green!25}{green!75}
% \begin{tabular}{ c @{}c c c }
%                  & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
%                  & 4 & 5 & 6 \\
% \ldelim\{{-3}{*} & 7 & 8 & 9 \\
% \end{tabular}
%    \\[2ex]
% \end{minipage}
% \end{quote}
%
% This is not a problem of \Package{multirow} or \Package{bigdelim};
% it will also happen if there is normal text in the column before the
% \verb|@{}|. The reason is that these color commands extend the color
% to cover the intercolumn spaces on both sides to prevent gaps in the
% color. The size of these so-called \textit{overhangs} is \verb|\tabcolsep| (or
% \verb|\arraycolsep| when an \environment{array} is used) on each side.
% However, when \verb|@{}| is used there is no such intercolumn space
% and the extension covers parts of the previous column.
% This can be cured by setting the left \textit{overhang} explicitly to
% 0pt with a \verb|\columncolor| command in the tabular header, like
% \verb|>{\columncolor{white}[0pt][\tabcolsep]}|. Unfortunately the
% explicit color \texttt{white}, removes the transparency of the column,
% so if there are cells in that column that have no explicit color,
% these cells are affected. If the background of the \environment{tabular} is
% white, this normally will not be noticed, but if the background color
% is changed, for example with the \verb|\pagecolor| command, then that color
% should be used rather than \texttt{white}. Unfortunately, there is no
% command to specify the \textit{overhangs} without also specifying a
% color.
%
% In the following example we have done this. In order to keep the table
% header compact, we put the deinition in a \verb|\newcolumn| command
% (using the \Package{array} package).
%
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \newcolumntype{z}{@{}>{\columncolor{white}[0pt][\tabcolsep]}}
% \rowcolors{2}{green!25}{green!75}
% \begin{tabular}{ c zc c c }
%                  & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
%                  & 4 & 5 & 6 \\
% \ldelim\{{-3}{*} & 7 & 8 & 9 \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{minipage}
% \begin{minipage}{0.35\linewidth}
% \newcolumntype{z}{@{}>{\columncolor{white}[0pt][\tabcolsep]}}
% \rowcolors{2}{green!25}{green!75}
% \begin{tabular}{ c zc c c }
%                  & 1 & 2 & 3 \\
%                  & 4 & 5 & 6 \\
% \ldelim\{{-3}{*} & 7 & 8 & 9 \\
% \end{tabular}
%    \\[2ex]
% \end{minipage}
% \end{quote}
%
% In case you want to have a paragraph type text as optional parameter you could put it in a \cs{parbox}.
% Alternatively you could add an extra column with the text in a \cs{multirow}, like in
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{l@{}l@{}l}
%    dvi   & \rdelim\}{3}{1em} & \multirow{3}{4cm}{These are the output types,
%         that are commonly used for \TeX.} \\
%    ps    & & \\
%    pdf   & & \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% \begin{quote}
% \begin{tabular}{l@{}l@{}l}
%    dvi   & \rdelim\}{3}{1em} & \multirow{3}{4cm}{These are the output types,
%         that are commonly used for \TeX.} \\
%    ps   & & \\
%    pdf   & & \\
% \end{tabular}
% \end{quote}
% Note that we used \texttt{@\{\}} to eliminate the intercolumn space to
% get the text tight to the brace.

%
% \index{vbox=\verb!*+\vbox+|usage}
%
% In this section we explain the \cs{vbox} positioning in \cs{multirow}.
% The positioning depends on the \meta{nrows}, \meta{vpos},
% \meta{bigstruts} and \meta{vmove} arguments. The box is constructed with \cs{vtop}. The
% algorithm of \cs{vtop} is described in \emph{The \TeX{}book}, p.~81.
%
% Each case is described by a figure. In the figure the lefthand column
% indicates the context of the tabular in which the multirow appears,
% i.e \meta{nrows} rows. The righthand column is the multirow box that
% is to be inserted. The baseline is the natural position where the material will be
% positioned in the first place. Later it will be shifted up
% to the desired location.
%
% H is the calculated height of the box: $\meta{nrows} \times
% \textrm{the natural height of a row}  + \meta{bigstruts} \times
% \mathrm{\cs{bigstrutjot}} $.
%
% {topstrut} = \cs{bigstrutjot} if there is  a \cs{bigstrut} on the top of
% the first row (as indicated by the \texttt{t} prefix in the
% \meta{bigstruts} argument), otherwise 0.
%
% {botstrut} = \cs{bigstrutjot} if there is  a \cs{bigstrut} on bottom of
% the last row (as indicated by the \texttt{b} prefix in the
% \meta{bigstruts} argument), otherwise 0.
%
% h1 = $\textrm{height of a tabular row} + \textrm{topstrut}$
%
% h2 = $\textrm{depth of a tabular row} + \textrm{botstrut}$
%
% Note: the following descriptions describe the vertical shift of the
% box without taking the \meta{vmove} into account. In all cases
% \meta{vmove} has to be added if it is given.
%
% \subsection{Case \meta{nrows}${}> 0$}
%
% \subsubsection*{\meta{vpos}  = [t]}
%
% In this case the \cs{vbox} contains the text followed by a \cs{vfill}.
% Such a \cs{vbox} has a height that is the height of the top line of
% the text (h). H = height + depth of the box. This means that the box is
% already positioned correctly. However, later we will put the box
% inside another \cs{vbox}, with a \cs{vskip} on to of it, and this will
% make the top of the box its reference point. Therefore we will
% have to shift it up again over a distance h
% (which probably will be different from the height of the tabular row).
% So the total shift becomes h. See fig.~\ref{fig:top-t}.
%
% Alternatively, we could have omitted the \cs{vskip} in this case,
% thereby leaving the baseline undisturbed, but this would make the code
% unsymmetrical. Moreover, this would not work when a non-zero
% \meta{vmove} is present. Therefore we choose to set the shift amount to h here.

%
% \meta{nrows}${}<0$ when the multirow is positioned in the last row of
% the multirow block.
%
% \subsubsection*{\meta{vpos}  = [t]}
%
% In this case the \cs{vbox} contains the text followed by a \cs{vfill}.
% Such a \cs{vbox} has a height that is the height of the top line of
% the text. The baseline is aligned with the baseline of the last row.
% Because \meta{vpos}  = [t], we want it to be aligned with the baseline
% of the first row. Therefore it has to be shifted up $\textrm{H} -
% \textrm{h1} - \textrm{h2}$. But because later the height of the box
% will be set to 0, we must also add the current height h. Therefore the
% total shift becomes $\textrm{H} - \textrm{h1} - \textrm{h2} +
% \textrm{h}$.  See fig.~\ref{fig:bot-t}.

% of the last text line is H below the top.
%
% Because \meta{vpos}  = \texttt{[b]} we want the baseline of the last
% textline to shift to the baseline of the last tabular row. The amount
% of the shift is H.  See fig.~\ref{fig:bot-b}.
