[reportlab-users] Table, SPAN and splitlast

[Brandon Rich]

Also, was there ever a resolution to this problem?  I have run into the
same issue but have not found an answer to it

Thanks

Same error with this syntax. :-(

When I first tried with ('SPAN', (0, 'splitlast'), (-1, 'splitlast')) it
was done after an example found in the distribution :
reportlab/test/test_platypus_tables.py
where you can find : ('LINEBELOW', (0,'splitlast'),
(-1,'splitlast'), 1, colors.white,'butt')
