Any output record class that implements the following generic functions is said to support the row (or column) formatting protocol.
row-output-record [Protocol Class]
Summary: The protocol class that represents one row in a table; a subclass of output-record . If you want to create a new class that behaves like a row output record, it should be a subclass of row-output-record . Subclasses of row-output-record must obey the row output record protocol.
row-output-record-p [Function]
Summary: Returns t if object is a row output record; otherwise, it returns nil .
Summary: The instantiable class of output record that represents a row of output within a table. Its children will be a sequence of cells, and its parent (skipping intervening non-tabular records such as presentations) will be a table output record. This is a subclass of row-output-record .
map-over-row-cells [Generic Function]
Arguments: function row-record
Summary: Applies function to all the cells in the row row-record , skipping intervening non-table output record structure. function is a function of one argument, an output record corresponding to a table cell within the row; it has dynamic extent.
column-output-record [Protocol Class]
Summary: The protocol class that represents one column in a table; a subclass of output-record . If you want to create a new class that behaves like a column output record, it should be a subclass of column-output-record . Subclasses of column-output-record must obey the column output record protocol.
column-output-record-p [Function]
Summary: Returns t if object is a column output record; otherwise, it returns nil .
Summary: The instantiable class of output record that represents a column of output within a table. Its children will be a sequence of cells, and its parent (skipping intervening non-tabular records such as presentations) will be a table output record; presentation output records may intervene. This is a subclass of column-output-record .
map-over-column-cells [Generic Function]
Arguments: function column-record
Summary: Applies function to all the cells in the column column-record , skipping intervening non-table output record structure. function is a function of one argument, an output record corresponding to a table cell within the column; it has dynamic extent.
