<?tbcignw>
Description
This command specifies that PTC ALD should ignore a particular cell width during its <?tbprescan> operation.
By default PTC ALD will scan the size of the table and adjust the size of the columns in the table to accommodate their text content. Therefore if you have one long cell, the column will be made wide to fit it, which can lead to your table having uneven columns. To stop this you can instruct PTC ALD to ignore the width of a particular cell when pre-scanning the table. The text in the cell will therefore wrap within the cell's specified width.
 
Example 400. Use column headings instead of contents to determine table column width
If you wanted to ignore the width of table contents and use the column's headings to define the column width you would include <?tbcignw=1> with the contents and place the command <?tbcignw=0> before the heading.
