There isn't one. The table class isn't designed to handle much more than the most basic of tables. You can't set attributes on a per-cell or a per-row basis.

I didn't say that... I said it isn't designed to handle much more than basic tables. You can always extend it if it doesn't do something you need.

I know this one is a bit old, but I found this topic via google and I know the answer, so I'm posting it here. Here's the solution for adding `colspan` and `rowspan` to the table without extending the library:
Code:
ee()->table->add_row(
'first col',
'second col',
array('rowspan' => '2', 'data' => 'extra tall')
);
ee()->table->add_row(
array('colspan' => '2', 'data' => 'extra wide')
);The core CodeIgniter library supports either a string or an associative array for a value. If an associative array is provided all key/value pairs are translated to attribute/value pairs with the exception of an entry with the array key of 'data'. the value for the key 'data' is used as the content of the table cell.
