Abstract
We have previously discussed building tables by using hboxes or by using \set-tabs, which in turn uses hboxes. The disadvantage of those approaches (see 6.8, p. I–191, or 6.9, p. I–198) was that the user had to specify the width of every column in advance, either by specifying the width explicitly or implicitly (by specifying the widest entry of each column).
