398.0. "Symbol names - table embedded in table" by LJOHUB::CRITZ (John Ellis to ride RAAM '91) Tue Jan 22 1991 08:26

    	I'm running DOCUMENT V1.2B, ONLINE.HANDBOOK doctype, going
    	to the bookreader destination.
    
    	I have tables embedded in tables. The embedded table cannot
    	have a symbolic name.
    
    	The resulting error messages when the embedded table had
    	a symbolic name were next to useless (so what else is
    	new, right?).

398.1illegal to nest formal tablesOLD::UTTMary UttTue Jan 22 1991 15:498
    See the replies to note 3351 in CLOSET::DOCUMENT.
    
    DOCUMENT has never allowed nesting of formal tables, for any output
    device (this is not specific to the online doctypes). I do agree,
    however, that the documentation on the subject is less than clear
    (in the user's guide and in the error message).
