Usage : trconnect [-l<label>] num=<n> <html>

Version : Tue Jan 9 09:02:34 JST 2024

Description

Vertically merges <td> elements within <tr> elements surrounded by

<label>. For <tr> elements generated repeatedly with strmerge -l,

the first <n> keys specified by num=<n> are checked, and if they

have the same value then the table cell is heirarchicaly merged

vertically. For example, if there are five key cells in a row with

the same value, then the five cells are vertically merged. The

attribute rowspan="5" is added to the first <td> element, and the

remaining four <td> elements are commented out.

Warning

1. The <tr> and </tr> elements must be by themselves on different

lines.

2. The <td>..</td> or <th>..</th> must be independent blocks (can

span multiple lines).

3. The area enclosed by <label> cannot contain elements other than

<tr>, <th> or <td>.

4. If there are merged cells in the input html file, <td> elements

that are not to be displayed must be exist as comment like

follows:
