why rowspan is disabled for PdfPCell

why rowspan is disabled for PdfPCell

Hello.

I am working on creating pdf documents with iText. I need to support
documents with tables that can contain cells that span over several
rows. I noticed that PdfPCell doesn't have this functionality (it does
have column span functionality). But class Cell supports such feature.
Thus I am forced to use classes Table and Cell as opposed to PdfPTable
and PdfPCell. Using those classes I am able to produce the documents
that I need, but I am somewhat limited in the functionality. The same
problem also prevents me from using HTMLWorker that converts HTML into
PDF. The problem there is that HTNLWorker produces PdfPTable as a result
of conversion and if my table in HTML has cells that span multiple rows
I and up with messed up PDF doc. I understand that the feature of
rowspan is not present in PdfPCell by design. (I saw in source code for
Cell in method createPdfPCell()that it throws exception if cell has
rowspan greater then 1). Why is it so? Is it easy to fix?

Best regards,

Michael Gantman
