(AAPP multiple level of balance) Ability to balance slim tables in a balanced table row or block

(AAPP multiple level of balance) Ability to balance slim tables in a balanced table row or block

We need to put balanced slim tables within balanced blocks.

For instance some of our customer would like to have names lists displayed as a balanced slim table within a 2 columns block which also needs to be balanced.

When we try to do that using AAPP version 11, we get the correct result but for few cases we get characters which overlap (or duplicate) at the top of the page which is not acceptable for our customers.

Support replied to our case :

Our balancing feature currently does not support nesting and this is a known restriction, the Tables documentation clearly states :

N.B. Only a single level of balance is supported. You cannot nest another slim table within the row that is also balancing and you cannot balance a slim table within a frame balance either.

The lack of this capability prevents us from using blocks in our APP templates. This is bad because blocks make our template development work faster, cheaper and more maintainable.
