Multicolumns and multirows

from tabletexifier import Table

t = Table(header=[1, 2, 3, 4], table_style="A")
t.add_row(list(range(5, 9)))
t.add_row(list(range(9, 13)))
print(t)

Setting as a multicolumn, works on both the terminal version of the table and, the changes are propagated to LaTeX through the multicol and multirow commands

t.set_cell_as_multi_col(start_col=0,
                        start_row=1,
                         number_of_cols=1
                         )
t.set_cell_as_multi_row(start_row=1,
                        start_col= 2,
                        number_of_rows=1)

print(t)
print(t.build_latex())

\begin{table}[H]

\begin{tabular}{c|c|c|c|}
 1  & 2  & 3  & 4  \\ \hline

There are a few caveats if we attempt to build a multicol and a multirow (i.e. build a square of cells):

1. On the text-version we get the extra “+” if the vlines are active in those cells

2. On the LaTex version, the hlines are broken (it keeps using the :nbsphinx-math:`hlines `instead of the clines)

t = Table(header=[1, 2, 3, 4], table_style="A")
t.add_row(list(range(5, 9)))
t.add_row(list(range(9, 13)))

t.set_cell_as_multi_col(start_col=0,
                        start_row=1,
                         number_of_cols=1
                         )

t.set_cell_as_multi_col(start_col=0,
                        start_row=2,
                         number_of_cols=1
                         )

t.set_cell_as_multi_row(start_row=1,
                        start_col= 0,
                        number_of_rows=1)

t.set_cell_as_multi_row(start_row=1,
                        start_col= 1,

print(t)
