<span id="index-multitable"></span>

<p><code>@multitable</code> allows you to construct tables with any number of
columns, with each column having any width you like.
</p>
<p>You define the column widths on the <code>@multitable</code> line itself, and
write each row of the actual table following an <code>@item</code> command,
with columns separated by a <code>@tab</code> command. Finally, <code>@end
multitable</code> completes the table. Details in the sections below.
