I'm trying to lay out text using a \table and have found (to date) two problems.
Firstly, the wordwrap feature doesn't seem to work. See Table 1. I've tried using \wordwrap-lines but the result is the same. Obviously I'm missing something but can't see what.
Secondly, the spacing between rows in a table doesn't seem quite right when I use columns. In Table 2, Row 2 the columns have the expected spacing but the space between the last line and row 3 is too small. It's correct for the gap between rows 3 and 4.
Two further questions that I can't find the answers to:
Is there a way of ensuring that two items in a markup list are not broken by a page break? For example, the title of a table and the first row.
How can I increase the distance between the page header and the first line of markup text following a page break? Setting top-markup-spacing.basic-distance doesn't seem to work.
\override #'( line-width . 15 )
\override #'( padding . 3 )
\override #'( baseline-skip . 4 )
\table #'(-1 -1)
{
"row 1"
"text 1"
"row 2"
"text 2"
\wordwrap {"a very very very very very very very very long row 3"}
\override #'( line-width . 12 )
\wordwrap {"a very very very very very very very very very very very very long text 3"}
}
