Aligns all children vertically, from top to bottom. If it has a "label" +attribute, it is drawn as a visible box, and the label is used as a caption. +Actually, it is a 2-column table, where the right column is reserved for +entries, and the left column is reserved for their labels, so all entries and +all labels will be aligned within this box.

Has a "label" attribute that will be used as the +title for this column. +A column can contain one or more <entry> or <label> children, which will be +placed from top to bottom (multi line grids). + +We need some idea how to define multi line grids with different colspan, like + + Number Account Account Name Debit Credit +[------] [-----] [-----------------------] [--------] [--------] +Comment: [-----------------------------------------------------] +[------] [-----] [-----------------------] [--------] [--------] +Comment: [-----------------------------------------------------] +[------] [-----] [-----------------------] [--------] [--------] +Comment: [-----------------------------------------------------] _______________________________________________ commit-gnue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/commit-gnue
