\noalign?

\noalign?

[Christopher Creutzig]

Salvete,

 which tables allow using \noalign and in what places?

 E.g., the first of these works, but I'd also like to be allowed the
second one (ignore what \pause does for the moment ...):

\starttable[|c|c|c|]
\HL
\NC one \NC two \NC three \NC\AR
\HL\noalign{\pause}%
\NC one \NC two \NC three \NC\AR
\noalign{\pause}\HL
\stoptable

 I assume this has to do with trial typesetting or something like this,
but what should I type instead?

regards,
Christopher

how about

\TABLEnoalign (see core-tab.tex for defintion)
without any guarantees :)

 I did try that.  But I don't see why it should help.  After all, the
place I'm trying to do a \noalign is not inside some other \noalign and
that's the only thing \TABLEnoalign adds – as far as I read the source.

Sorry to hear. I was just browsing through an old table, as I remembered
your question. After some reading and testing I have found out, that \AR
is the cause of the problem. Your example works with \SR \FR \LR..., but
not with \AR. Adding a \TB[] in front of \noalign works, but surely has
some unwanted side effects.

Sandman is calling,

it all depends on what you want to achieve

 I want to place a \pdfspecial in front of the \HL.  Peter Rolf pointed
out correctly (and I had seen that myself as well) that the problem
seems to be with \AR only.  I'll try and check if I can make the whole
thing work transparently with \AR or if I have to ask users to use \FR,
\MR, \LR for this usage pattern.  (Usage: You build a table line by line
in a presentation.)
