Test 6
=======
Some care must be taken with grid tables to avoid undesired
interactions with cell text in rare cases. For example, the
following table contains a cell in row 2 spanning from column 2 to
column 4:
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 1, col 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 2 | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 3 | | | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
Test 7
=======
If a vertical bar is used in the text of that cell, it could have
unintended effects if accidentally aligned with column boundaries:
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 1, col 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 2 | Use the command ``ls \| more``. |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 3 | | | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
Test 8
=======
Several solutions are possible. All that is needed is to break the
continuity of the cell outline rectangle. One possibility is to
shift the text by adding an extra space before:
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 1, col 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 2 | Use the command ``ls | more``. |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 3 | | | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
Test 9
=======
Another possibility is to add an extra line to row 2:
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 1, col 1 | column 2 | column 3 | column 4 |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 2 | Use the command ``ls | more``. |
| | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
| row 3 | | | |
+--------------+----------+-----------+-----------+
