Multitable Rows
---------------

  After the `@multitable' command defining the column widths (see the
previous section), you begin each row in the body of a multitable with
`@item', and separate the column entries with `@tab'.  Line breaks are
not special within the table body, and you may break input lines in
your source file as necessary.

  Here is a complete example of a multi-column table (the text is from
`The GNU Emacs Manual', Note: Splitting Windows.):

     @multitable @columnfractions .15 .45 .4
     @item Key @tab Command @tab Description
     @item C-x 2
     @tab @code{split-window-vertically}
     @tab Split the selected window into two windows,
     with one above the other.
     @item C-x 3
     @tab @code{split-window-horizontally}
     @tab Split the selected window into two windows
     positioned side by side.
     @item C-Mouse-2
     @tab
     @tab In the mode line or scroll bar of a window,
     split that window.
     @end multitable

produces:

Key         Command                          Description
C-x 2       `split-window-vertically'        Split the selected window

C-x 3       `split-window-horizontally'      Split the selected window

                                             window.
