Hello:

I enhanced ExcelGenerator's EGSimpleTableParser to include the ability 
to merge cells. I have the following table layout:

<tr>
     <td cellType="CELL_TYPE_STRING" colspan = "2" mergeAcross = 
"true"></td>
     <td cellType="CELL_TYPE_STRING" colspan = "11" mergeAcross = 
"true">Program Statistics</td>
</tr>

I needed the first 2 cells and the remaining 11 cells to be 
"grouped"/merged together. When I do this in Excel, I use the "Merge & 
Center" button/option. When I save the Excel file as an XML file I see 
an attribute called "MergeAcross". So I named the attribute mergeAcross 
which by default will be false. It right now only works in conjunction 
with colspan > 1. Does anyone have a better suggestion for naming that 
attribute?
