I tested it. you are right.
Now I am wondering if the following is possible?
<t:dataTable newspaerColumns=1 value="...">
<t:column>
<t:column>
</t:dataTable>
There is only one clumn for the dataTable. So For 5 rows, the result will
look like:
A
B
C
D
E
But I need it to be:
A(colspan=2)
B C
D E
The first row spans 2 columns. Is it possible somehow? For
newpaperColumn=2, It would be:
A B
C D
E
Thanks,
Dave

I could be wrong, but I don't think there's anything special about how
newspaper columns are rendered.
If you have 4 columns in your table, and you set newspaperColumns=3,
then you end up with a table with 12 columns.
A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D
There's no style attribute because internally, there's no difference
to a table that looks like this
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L
I suspect you simply need to apply a columnClasses as if it were a
table with 3xN number of columns. For my example above, I'd suggest
maybe this:
columnClasses="StyleClass1,StyleClass1,StyleClass1,StyleClass1,StyleClass2,StyleClass2,StyleClass2,StyleClass2,StyleClass3,StyleClass3,StyleClass3,StyleClass3"
Note that I'm not much of an expert on style classes in general. I
just happen to remember that the newspaperColumn code doesn't do
anything but increase the number of columns in the table without doing
anything to make actual "meta-columns" that group those columns.
Hopefully this is helpful, but it's all based on what I read in the
code rather than what I've done in practice.
