CHAPTER 17. TABLE FORMATTING

within a row, a cell within a cell, or a row within a cell. Note that this does not prohibit the
nesting of calls to formatting-table, it simply requires that programmers include the inner
table within one of the cells of the outer table.

=> table-output-record [Protocol Class]
The protocol class that represents tabular output records; a subclass of output-record. If you
want to create a new class that behaves like a table output record, it should be a subclass of
table-output-record. Subclasses of table-output-record must obey the table output record
protocol.

=> table-output-record-p object [Function]
Returns true if object is a table output record, otherwise returns false.

=> :x-spacing [Init Arg]
=> :y-spacing [Init Arg]
=> :multiple-columns-x-spacing [Init Arg]
=> :equalize-column-widths [Init Arg]
All subclasses of table-output-record must handle these initargs, which are used to specify,
respectively, the x and y spacing, the multiple column x spacing, and equal-width columns
attributes of the table.

=> standard-table-output-record [Class]
The instantiable class of output record that represents tabular output. Its children will be a
sequence of either rows or columns, with presentation output records possibly intervening. This
is a subclass of table-output-record.

=> map-over-table-elements function table-record type [Generic Function]
Applies function to all the rows or columns of table-record that are of type type. type is either
:row, :column, or :row-or-column. function is a function of one argument, an output record; it
has dynamic extent. map-over-table-elements is responsible for ensuring that rows, columns,
and cells are properly nested. It must skip over intervening non-table output record structure,
such as presentations.

=> adjust-table-cells table-record stream [Generic Function]
This function is called after the tabular output has been collected, but before it has been replayed.
The method on standard-table-output-record implements the usual table layout constraint
solver (described above) by moving the rows or columns of the table output record table-record
and the cells within the rows or columns. stream is the stream on which the table is displayed.

=> adjust-multiple-columns table-record stream [Generic Function]
This is called after adjust-table-cells to account for the case where the programmer wants
the table to have multiple columns. table-record and stream are as for adjust-table-cells.
