tables: merging cells (row- and colspan)
FND
I just tried creating a simple 2D coordinate system, like this:
|
Remote |
|
Co-Located |
|_____________________________
Synchronous Asynchronous
That's basically a 3x3 table, whereas the four cells in the upper right
need to be merged.
However, it seems that using both colspan and rowspan at the same time
is not possible:
|!Remote|>||
|!Co-Located|~||
|!|!Synchronous|!Asynchronous|
The colspan (">") works, but the rowspan ("~") is being ignored.
Will I need to use raw HTML?
Thanks,

except for an ugly blank column at the end of the diagram this seems
working:
|!Remote|>||
|!Co-Located||~|
||Synchronous|Asynchronous|
please note that if you want sync/asyns in bold and coloured
background you have to put them above:
|!|!Synchronous|!Asynchronous|
|!Remote|>||
|!Co-Located||~|
or define the cells:
|bgcolor(color):Synchronous|
hope to be helpful,

Thanks Oscar, that's an interesting hack.
I've been able to somewhat mitigated the "ugly blank column" issue:
|!Remote|>||border(none):|
|!Co-Located||~|border(none):|
|!|!Synchronous|!Asynchronous|border(none):|
That's still not good enough, so I've come up with this alternative:
|!Remote|border(0):|border(0):|
|!Co-Located|border(0 0 1px 0):|border(0 0 1px 0):|
|!|!Synchronous|!Asynchronous|
It's still not perfect though (notice the mysteriously missing vertical
line between "Synchronous" and "Asynchronous"), so I'll have to decide
which of those hacks I'm gonna use.

(This is assuming a tiddler called "MyTiddler".)
