Hi, 

I need to import tables from xml with merged cells, and structured
content in cells

so I use xsl to transform these tables into tab delimited text,
import into InDesign, apply paragraph styles to tags in cells
 and transform TAB Text into Table after that, to keep styles in
cells**
 works fine so far -
 that is what i am going to get scripted, but i dont know if i'd be
able to do one thing:
 
 i can fill the empty space (where merged cells are supposed to be)
with empty cells in xsl, but:
 
 can i mark cells in a way to tell a script to merge them?
 how could a script look like?
 
(what about InDesign3 will there be better solutions for the xml-table
problems? does/can anybody know?)
 
TIA

**(last step is applying a Style from SmartStyles - and i dont know
how to make it keep my wanted styling and just format the other
(unstyled text) - but that is another sad story)
