I think most of this can be fixed by a better explanation and an
example in the documentation. There is no bug here. There is, however,
a distinction to be made between the rule that normally follows
the column headings for a table and the rule that is user-specifiable
between constructed table headings.
1. Both <table_heads> and <table_unit_heads> are output followed
by a rule in most doctypes. If a doctype calls for a rule following
table headings, then there will always be a rule that is the
full column width.
2. <rule> may be used when either <table_heads> or <table_unit_heads>
are constructed using more than one tag, for example:
<table_heads>(<span>(3)Name<rule>)
<table_heads>(First\Last\Middle)
to produce:
Name
---------------------------------
First Last Middle
In Jack's example, if the <table_unit_heads> had a <RULE> in it,
he would get two rules, one that is 3 columns wide under the unit
heads and one that is the full page width. The second is the
table units normal post-heading rule.

| 77.3 | What about <RULE> elsewhere | HADRON::RILEY | Steve Riley, 849-3419 | Tue Mar 10 1987 14:07 | 19 |
|
I have noticed that it is no longer possible to have <RULE>
to separate the rows (eg. a table with TOTAL line). Is there
any way to achieve :-
------------------------------------
Head_1 Head_2 Head_3 Head_4
------------------------------------
xxxxxx 999 999 999
.
.
.
xxxxxx 999 999 999
------------------------------------
TOTAL 999 999 999
------------------------------------
?

| 77.4 | with <span> it should work | CLOSET::ANKLAM | | Thu Mar 12 1987 20:20 | 9 |

I think that a
<table_row>(<SPAN>(4)<rule>)
should work.

| 77.5 | Is that safe? | BUNSUP::LITTLE | Todd Little | Mon Mar 16 1987 12:04 | 12 |
| Patti, I tried the previous suggestion in a table and carried the idea
a bit further to attempt ruling between table rows by placing:
<table_row>(<SPAN>(4)<rule>)
between each row. Although I got something close to what I wanted, it
appeared to mess up the pagination scheme. I believe those rows with
just the rules messed up some counter or something. I could reproduce
the problem if you like.

| 77.6 | no, it's not guaranteed | CLOSET::ANKLAM | | Tue Mar 17 1987 16:50 | 8 |

guess I would need to see what you are doing. <rule> isn't intended
to be used to place a rule between every table in a table row; I
suggested its use for occasions when it might be useful. Remember
that a <table_row> is a full row wherever it occurs, so TeX will
break before it or after it, with no regard to its contents.
