How to vertically align these nested tabulars
Pander
How can I vertically align these text to the top for these nested
tabulars?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ll}\hline
qwer&\multirow{4}{*}{\begin{tabular}{p{4cm}@{}}asdf sa asdsadff
sadfsadf asfds adsadf sdaasasdf\vfill\end{tabular}}\\
qwer&\\
qwer&\\
qwer&\\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
Thanks,

And though my recommandations, you continue. May be I was not clear :
* NEVER NEVER NEVER USE MULTIROW *
Solution: divide you cells according to what a tabular is:
\begin{tabular}{ll} \hline
\begin{tabular}[t]{c}
qwer \\
qwer \\
qwer \\
qwer
\end{tabular}
&
\begin{tabular}[t]{p{4cm}@{}} asdf sa asdsadff
sadfsadf asfds adsadf sdaasasdf
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}

and what exactly should people who insist on writing entries similar to
HTML rowspan do instead?

\halign is not the same as <table>...</table> and not designed to span
rows. And pdf is not html. Hopefully! However, it is *always* possible
to get a tabular where rows look like if they were spanned, by dividing
the cells correctly.
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| |-------------------------|
| | |
|-------------------------|-------------------------|
This is absolutely not a multirow in the sense of \halign, because
\halign does not know what multirow is, and multirow package provides
a (possibly tempting) "fake" code based on the idea that the
height/depth of the rows are multiple of the \@arstrutbox dimensions.
For \halign:
.this is a table that contains one row that contains 2 cells.
.The first cell contains whatever you want
.The second contains a \halign that contains two rows, each one
has 1 cell.
A bit more complex :
|---------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| |-------------------------|
| | |
| |-------------------------|
| | |
|-------------------------| |
| | |
|-------------------------|-------------------------|
. this is a table that contains one row that contains 2 cells.
. the first cell contains a \halign that contains two rows, each
one has 1 cell
. the second cell contains \halign that contains 3 rows, each one
has 1 cell
Step by step it is always possible to divide each rectangle.
To control the height/depths, tabu will be more powerfull than
tabular, but even with tabular you can make such a table easily
provided you don't change the font size too much:
Here is how \halign works:
% ------------------------------------------------------
\documentclass [a4paper]{article}
\usepackage {array}
\begin{document}
\tabcolsep =0pt
\begin{tabular}{|*2{>{\tabcolsep=12pt}c|}} \hline
\begin{tabular}{c}
\rlap{\begin{tabular}{c} \\ \\ \\ \end{tabular}}%
One \\ \hline
two
\end{tabular}
&
\begin{tabular}{c}
One \\
Two \\ \hline
{\large Three} \rlap{\begin{tabular}{c}\\ \\\end{tabular}}%
\end{tabular} \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}\endinput
% -----------------------------------------------------
no measure, perfect alignment,
even if you change the margin, the font, \mag, whatever you
want to change...

and a normal user should understand this?

Use ConTeXt? (SCNR)

If he wants to make "non regular" tabulars: yes.
I fear there is no other solution with \halign.
It's not difficult to provide a \reserveheight command
with \erows from makecell, which is buggy by the way
(does not work with one column tabulars - but no matter):
% ----------------------------------------------------
\documentclass [a4paper]{article}
\usepackage {array,makecell}
\begin{document}
\def\reserveheight #1{%
\rlap{\begin{tabular}{ll} \erows [\\]1{#1}\end{tabular}}}
\tabcolsep =0pt
\begin{tabular}{|*2{>{\tabcolsep=12pt}c|}} \hline
\begin{tabular}{c}
\reserveheight{3} One \\ \hline
two
\end{tabular}
&
\begin{tabular}{c}
One \\
Two \\ \hline
\reserveheight{2} {\large Three}
\end{tabular} \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}\endinput
% --------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise, you can keep cooking with \multirow, obwohl das ist
kein TeX tabelle ...
Regards.
