[reportlab-users] Patch to support tables with oversize cells

[Robin Becker]

Hi Lennart,

I put your data for the spanning case into my test program which is attached; I can use the following commands to see 
the behavior


python lennart-example.py --splitByRow=0 --splitInRow=1 --split=55 --pdfn=ttt.pdf --useData=1

this works and splits the column spanned row 3 (row=2 in python). The cell is split OK, but it gets styles from the 
splitfirst, splitlast styles. I'm not sure that's right for a split in the row when the split row is neither a first row 
or last. I don't really know what the correct styling should be, but I think the style that would have applied in the 
non-splitting case should be used.

If I use

python lennart-example.py --splitByRow=0 --splitInRow=1 --split=22 --pdfn=ttt.pdf --useData=1

then the split fails because it crosses the spanned row cell
