Class AbstractTableWriterModel

java.lang.Object

org.docx4j.model.table.TableModel

org.docx4j.convert.out.common.writer.AbstractTableWriterModel

public class AbstractTableWriterModel
extends TableModel

There are different ways to represent a table with possibly merged cells.

• In html, both vertically and horizontally merged cells are represented by one cell only that has a colspan and rowspan attribute. No dummy cells are used.
• In docx, horizontally merged cells are represented by one cell with a gridSpan attribute; while vertically merged cells are represented as a top cell containing the actual content and a series of dummy cells having a vMerge tag with "continue" attribute.
• This table is a regular matrix, dummy cells are added for both merge directions.

The algorithm is as follows,

• When a cell is added, its colspan is set. Even a dummy cell can have a colspan, the same value as its upper has.
• When a new cell has a colspan greater than 1, the required extra dummy cells are also added
• When a docx dummy cell is encountered (one with a vMerge continue attribute), the rowspan is incremented in its upper neighbors until a real cell is found.

This model captures: - whether the table layout is fixed or auto (Word usually does auto) - whether conflict resolution is required on cell borders (Word usually does conflict resolution)
