<tmdoc-title|Advanced table features>
In the menus, you also find some other more special features for tables.
Very briefly, these include the following:
<\itemize>
<item>Change the \Pspan\Q of a cell and let it run over its neighbouring
cells on its right and below.
<item>Creation of entire subtables inside cells.
<item>Correction of the depth and height of text, in order to let the
baselines match.
<item>Horizontal hyphenation of cell contents and vertical hyphenation of
the entire table.
<item>Gluing several rows and/or columns together, so that the glued
cells become \Ppart of the borders\Q of the remaining cells.
<item>Deactivation of the table, in order to see its \Psource code\Q.
<item>Setting the \Pextension center\Q of a table. From now on, the
formatting properties of this cell will be used for new cells created
around this center.
<item>Specification of the minimal and maximum size of a table, which
will be respected during further editing. (this is mainly useful when
creating table macros).
</itemize>
Currently, all tables come inside an environment like <markup|tabular>,
<markup|block>, <markup|matrix>, etc. When creating your own table macros,
you may use <menu|Table|Special table properties|Extract format> to extract
the format from a given table.
