<?blocksimcol>
Description
In normal tables, the top of each cell is treated like the top of a column, in that paragraph column top margins will be used. However, this does not allow for the use of <?tpdt> and column top margins will not be applied after a break if text overflows the cell.
The<?blocksimcol> command allows blocks to simulate column tops at the top of each cell, and when breaking, and hence permits the use of <?tpdt>.
The setting for blocks will default to <?blocksimcol=2> unless there is an explicit <?blocknumcols> setting, in which case they will use <?blocksimcol=1> instead. The basic principle is that, if the block is being used to define columns, they will be treated as such.
