Undefined control sequence.
Right now, tabulate does not support vertical lines. It is a nice feature to have. I know that the style guide says that one should not use vertical rules, but I feel that there I cases when I need them. > but \HL seems to work (and \VL not). > tabulate is very lightly documented so i am not sure > which table command works there and which not. > > i'd like to use tabulate instead of table because > of the spacing. i dont need to stretch the content > like table does. this is a small inline "table" > between 2 paragpraphs, tabulate seems more elegant > to me here. Actually, table also works for this kind of thing. The place where tabulate is really needed is when you want automatic width for paragraphs. You can make table squeeze content vertically by saying \setuptables[depth=0.3,height=0.6] The default is height=0.8, depth=0.4. Play around with these values. > Han, > it would be nice if tabulate could handle VL, > that would make tabulate even more useful. +1.
