Say I have a table with some data, a header row and a summary. The table has specific column specifications, like below



documentclassarticle

setlengthparskip1em
begindocument
% Consider this table:
begintabularl@~--~l%<- Makes a dash between columns
NODASH1 & NODASH2 \hline
beforedash & afterdash \
beforedash & afterdash \hline
Sum & NODASH!
endtabular

Below, a possible workaround that I don't really fancy

defnodash#1multicolumn1l#1
% Now using the nodash to remove the dashes that I don't want
begintabularl@~--~l
nodashNODASH1 & NODASH2 \hline
beforedash & afterdash \
beforedash & afterdash \hline
nodashSum & NODASH!
endtabular

enddocument


Which produces the following output:
enter image description here



So I'm looking for a more canonical way to produce the bottom table.
Any ideas?

    Your write-up and code are slightly confusing. E.g., what is the purpose of the third column in both tabular environments?

  • Another issue with your posting is that the title contains the qualifier "for only one single row". However, a careful reading of your posting suggests that you actually wish to change the column specification for two cells, not for one row. You may want to edit your posting to eliminate the need for people to guess as to what you really want to achieve...

Using multicolumn1 is the intended interface to specifying a different layout for heading or other rows. Note that you can get away with the simple



multicolumn1l...


here as it is a left-aligned column.



For a right (or center) aligned column you would need



multicolumn1r@phantom~--~#1


so that the alignment didn't spread into the inter-column space generated by the @ expression in the main tabular preamble.
