title: How to make the table in word using PHPWord which includes multiple rowspan and colspan?
body: <p>I have been learning the PHPWord for my academic project, and I also have the latest PHPWord library which supports &quot;vMerge&quot; for rowspan and &quot;gridSpan&quot; for colspan.</p>
  <p>I have been finding difficulty in creating one particular type of table structure as shown in the Image below.</p>

  <p><strong>The problem is</strong> how to have same rowspan for '1','2' and '6' , in this case it is equal to 2.</p>
  <p>Any kind of help would be appreciated.</p>
  <p><strong>edit-1</strong> I have succeeded with basic rowspan and colspan, but I am finding difficulty with this complex table.</p>
