<?tbwmode>
Description
When a table is too wide for a frame column, by default it just occupies the space it needs. <?tbwmode> lets you specify alternative behaviors using num parameters as follows:
Syntax
<?tbwmode num:n>
num
0
Table remains too wide for the frame column unless <?tbcolsets> has been specified.
1
Strips off columns on the right until the table fits the frame column.
2
Strips off columns from the right until the table fits, and then duplicates the table below with any master columns and any remaining columns. This will continue until all the columns have been accounted for.
The columns to be displayed during this duplication can also be defined manually in the original table using <?tbcolsets>.
When duplicating and repeating a table with a different set of columns, any columns that have been designated as masters will be inserted into every copy of the table. By default column 1 will be treated as a solitary master column, but you can use <?tbcolmaster> on it and other columns to override the default. PTC ALD will always insist that each set of columns includes the master columns and at least one extra column and will still make the table too wide if this rule can't be followed.
When you want two columns to stay together use <?tbcolkeepn> to keep one column with the next.
3
Always use the values specified in <?tbcolsets> even if the table is narrow enough for the frame column.
