I don't see that much of new code in the current version, especially when using my idea with the two new parameters for toHtml(). No other function needs to be modified (except from Christians second feature request [allow arrays as $content in set...Contents()]). > In terms of implementation, having 3 different structure arrays, 1 > for thead, tfoot and tbody, will make it easier to manage.

With a HTML_Table2 package one could throw a PEAR::Error in the case that a row span overlaps two groups (if this would even be possible with the behaviour described above). Col spans shouldn't be a problem, they always will be in the same group. And for row spans: If <tbody> has 5 rows and the user wants a row span over 6 rows then <tbody> could be expanded with 1 row (with autoGrow enabled). Mark
