I am trying to create a table with \halign where an odd combination of horizontal and vertical spans does not benefit from the use of \valign. I could create a table within the table but that has its own problems. For Example: ------------------------------------------------- | vertical | horizontal spanning on this row | | spanning in |---------------------------------| | this column | regular table | no spanning | |-------------|---------------|-----------------| | 12345678 | more cells | 12345678 | ------------------------------------------------- This example covers most of the cases I face and would appreciate any direction or hints. I was unable to find any useful references in the TeXBook and do not use LaTeX but am willing to pursue that if it has a solution. Thanks
