30.13.2 How to Create a Table?

The command to create a table is table-insert. When called interactively, it asks for the number of columns, number of rows, cell width and cell height. The number of columns is the number of cells horizontally side by side. The number of rows is the number of cells vertically within the table's height. The cell width is a number of characters that each cell holds, left to right. The cell height is a number of lines each cell holds. The cell width and the cell height can be either an integer (when the value is constant across the table) or a series of integer, separated by spaces or commas, where each number corresponds to the next cell within a row from left to right, or the next cell within a column from top to bottom.
