Huh?
A column span does just that, merges two or more "columns" in a series
of rows.

I have 3 rows, each row has 3 cells.
row 1 merges col 1 and col 2 with colspan.
That works fine.
In rows 2 and 3, I want to merge col 3 as one cell.

The basic table:
1...2...3
4...5...6
7...8...9

Output as:

1........3
4...5...6
7...8....

So how is that done properly?
