tables within tabulate environment

tables within tabulate environment

[Frank]

Hi,

I am working on some documents which are based on a table which is part 
of the text flow and may break between pages. So I use the tabulate 
environment. However now I need to include a table inside a tabulate 
cell, but this does not seem to work.

How can I get around this?

Best regards

Frank

what kind of nesting?

\starttabulate
\NC test \NC \starttable[|||] \HL \VL test \VL test \VL \NR \HL \stoptable 
\NC \NR
\stoptabulate

nesting tabulates is not (yet) possible, i played a bit with it but it will 
cost me more time to handle it (due to soem global aspects)

Similar to what you wrote:

\starttabulate
\NC test \NC
Some text here, perhaps followed by an itemized list an a table
\startitemize
\item first item
\item second item
\stopitemize

And some specifications in the following table:
\starttabulatea
\NC col1 row1 \NC col2 \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate

I tried a tabulate  inside the tabulate as I was not sure that the  
table being a float would be moved somewhere else. Basically what I am  
trying to do is similar to HTML layout using nested tables within a  
running text.

Frank

in that case use the bTABLE .. eTABLE alternative which can handle nested 
tables given that they are {grouped}
