remove MkII stuff, fix errors
denoting the ''alignment'' within cells of this row.
For instance consider a two-column table: if any text in the
first column should be right aligned (''real''
[[Right and left|<tt>flushright</tt>]]) and the second column
– ''not'' vertical lines.

* {{cmd|HL}} draws a horizontal rule,
* {{cmd|NC}} marks a new column (or new cell),
* {{cmd|NS}} marka marks a new cell that spans more than one column (LMTX only),
* {{cmd|NN}} marks a new math column/cell (see below),
* {{cmd|NR}} starts a new row,
* {{cmd|NB}} starts a new row as a block (avoids page breaking inside of a block, to keep some lines together),
* {{cmd|TB}} (= "Table Blank") adds some vertical space between rows -- — see an example below,* {{cmd|VL}} (instead of {{cmd|NC}}) draws a vertical rule -- — for more info see below.
When using fixed width, you can use values relative to the
current page-width. For example: if you want the previous tableto take up all the width and having the second column taking three
quarters of the space, change the {{cmd|starttabulate}} to:
<texcode>

Only LMTX supports wide cells (since September 2021 supports wide cells):

In LMTX, the line commands understand one or two numerical parameters: the line factor and the dash factor. (The second is new as of 2024-02-22.)
