I would like to have a table (created with tabular environment) with
one (or maybe more than one parbox) columns (p{...}). The width of this
(or these) parbox columns, however, should not be fixed but rather be
dynamically adjusted to the space not used by the other columns.
For example, with textwidth 15cm, \begin{tabular}{|l|p{***}|}, and
the longest entry for the left column being 5cm long, *** should be
automatically set to 10cm (minus the space needed for separating the
columns, of course). Is anything like that possible?
