User:CiaPan/example of autoextending table cell

A table with a second cell in a first row being too long and looking too short:

x	abc def
y

The table with the cell set to rowspan=2:

x	abc def
y

Same table after adding two more rows:

x	abc def
y
z
zz

and with the cell modified to rowspan=4:

x	abc def
y
z
zz

And this is a table with a single row and two columns – the first cell contains a nested table.

x y z

abc def

After adding some rows to the internal table, the right part (i.e. the second cell of a row of the external table) automagically expands vertically to fit the row's height.

u v w x y z

abc def
