Hi, I am currently working on the multitables support which is a bit broken (for example an @item within text on a line is unsupported, more @tab than table width are accepted and multitable begining isn't recognized in some cases). This is so because multitables are handled like regular tables, with a hack to make @tab disapear and it is wrong in some cases. I am going to fix that, but I have a question before. Currently it is possible to nest multitables. I suspect this feature is not really a choice but merely an nice consequence of handling multitables like tables. makeinfo and texi2dvi break on nested multitables. The question is: should we handle nested multitables ? It is technically possible, but is it really wanted ? Maybe handling them but issuing a warning should be the more appropriate behaviour ? Pat
