Features Introduced
Merging Table Cells Dynamically
Using the latest version, you can tell the API to merge the table cells that have equal textual content. The following tag is used for this purpose:
<<cellMerge -horz>>
In the above expression, the horzswitch is optional. If this switch is present, the cell merging will be performed in the horizontal direction. Otherwise, if the switch is missing, cells will be merged in the vertical direction (the default). At the moment, this feature is supported for the following document types:
Spreadsheet Documents
Presentation Documents
Word Processing Documents
Emails with HTML and RTF Bodies
