The startrow, endrow, startentry, and endentry markup specifies the rows and columns of a table. The number attribute of a row is reset on every page, likewise the number attribute of an entry is reset in every row. The vspan and hspan attributes indicate that an entry is spanning. The former indicates the number of cells spanned vertically, the latter indicates the number spanned horizontally.
