No. I'm only speaking about the same adta a programming lang would handle that way however. You have a number of dimensions, where each value in that dimension gets rendered as a row/col header. In the CALS model at least you don't have the notion of what would be preceived as the row's title. You don't have the notion of grouping rows either. You have to manually do layout work when composing, and it's tedious to move just one row. That's nearly the only problem xtable does solve today, have a look :) > Suggestion. > Ask the person next to you to describe the data in the table > you come across. Hm, what do you mean by "describe" ? Have him produce an audio rendering of the table, or have him abstract information from the table ? -- Yann Dirson <Yann.Dirson@fr.alcove.com> http://www.alcove.com/ Technical support manager Responsable de l'assistance technique Senior Free-Software Consultant Consultant senior en Logiciels Libres Debian developer (dirson@debian.org) Développeur Debian
