Hallo,

I tried to consult my work with the Developer's Guide (Text tables
section), but I'm not 100 % sure that everything is clear to me.
Imagine that I have a special extension with JTable component, which
is capable to merge, split cells too. I want to load selected text
table into this JTable component => I have to reconstruct text table
structure. Are the following premises correct?

o Vertical cell merging

I assume that if there are cells A1, A2, A3 and A5 (A4 is missing)
that the cell A3 is merged (A3:A4 in a simple table).

o Horizontal cell merging

It's more complicated. If I have cells in a first row A1, ..., D1 and
cells in a second row A2, ..., C2, there is merged cell in a second
row. The problem is how to decide which cells are merged (A2:B2,
B2:C2, C2:D2 in a simple table)? Should I use TableColumnSeparators?
It means, get TableColumnSeparators[] from TextTable, get
TableColumnSeparators[] from TextTableRow and compare where they are
placed? Or they are same for all rows but IsVisible property is used
for merged cells?

o Nested cells

I assume that the upper premises are valid for nested cells, ie. cells
like A1.1.1, A1.1.2, ...


Or should I use completely different approach?
