RE: [iText-questions] Setting the colSpan on a PdfPCell that cont ains a PdfPTable

[Khaled Alakhras]

What you describing is the desired effect, however if you look at the example, the first nested table is added to a cell with colSpan of 1 and the seconed nested table is added to a cell with a colSpan of 2.  The second table shows up correctly spanning two columns, but the first nested table shows up spanning two columns also which is incorrect.

Thanks,

Khaled

Works correctly. If you have colspan 2 the nested table inside will occupy
the two columns space instead of one. What result would you expect?
