What if I write to the first cell 'Monday is the first day of the day' instead of just monday?
I want the cell to adapt vertically, increasing the height of the whole row, to accomodate the text
How to do that?
minimum height=1.5em,and addrow 1 column 2/.style={nodes={text width=6em}}. But note that the options are parsed before the content so the height must be given anyhow. Or at least I don't see right away how to circumvent that. – percusse Mar 5 at 14:40
