How can I combine cells in a row in a latex-table?

Question

In a table I want to combine some of the columns, but not in all rows. How can I realize this with LaTeX?

\multicolumn{<number>}{<formatting>}{<contents>}

Where the arguments are

Number of columns to merge
the justification and formating string (just like you use in the table header, i.e. "|c|" or the like)
The contents to put in the merged columns

This command simply replaces the <number> columns and is used inline.

Addition: This is also how you change the formatting of a single field in only one row of the table. Just use \multicolumn{1}{<new format>}{<contents>}.

Thanks, it works fine. My first problem was, that I set as formatting only {c} and at this rows no lines were drawn. I had to change format-param to {|c|}, that worked as expected. – Mnementh Jan 14 '09 at 11:46

You have to add \\ at the end of the line as with any other line. – Yoav Jan 14 '13 at 20:14
