Bonjour Jean-Philippe

Thank you for your response. That sounds very promising. I don’t remember why I didn’t use natural tables when I’ve started setting things up for this journal. I think I’d might have had something to do with tables that break across pages. (At least, this is what https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview currently says: extremetables are said to be better when page breaking is involved.)

Have you ever noticed problems in that area?

Hans added a short while ago a span feature to tabulate but it works only for simple tables (e.g. single line cells).

You mean every cell has to be a single line cell? Or the ones where this span features applies ? That would be enough for me – at least ATM.

How does that feature work? I couldn’t find information about it.
