thanks for this. I removed that framed=off option and it turned out to be
sligthly different from what I'd like to achieve.
My goal is to have two blocks with a vertical gap between them and to have
these blocks framed (or with the colored background) at the text area - without
the cell spans - to show differences between the standard and 'hanging'
alignments (that right border should cross the punctuation in the hanging mode).
Below each 'column' I'd like to place a short description (centered) - exactly
as on the referenced examples.
