Cells that span two or more rows

Capture table cells that span two or more rows using the morerows attribute on the entry element.

A cell that spans two rows should have a value of attribute morerows="1". When a cell is extended to a second row, the second row should not contain a cell with the same colnum value of the extended cell.

You must specify vertical alignment in cells that span more than one row.
