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 a number of cells within the table's width. The number of rows is the number of cells within the table's height. The cell width is a number of characters that fit within a cell width. The cell height is a number of lines within cell height. While the number of columns and number of rows must be an integer number, the cell width and the cell height can be either an integer number (when the value is constant across the table) or a series of integer numbers, separated by spaces or commas, where each number corresponds to each cell width within a row from left to right or each cell height within a column from top to bottom.
