Hi Everyone,

I am facing some problem in creating a table, my sample data and latex pdf.tt file contents are pasted on http://pastebin.com/t5V1AK1m. The problem is in my sample data "comments key value" creating the problem.

I can't use % tx.comments % with \multicolumn{6}{c}{ % tx.comments % } the contents of comments is variable in length so I am printing in a separate row.

In my current pasted code if I print with % tx.comments % it print the data but under on Ist column of table, and width of first column is become large based on contents of comments. I want to print it in next row.

if I print \textbf{% tx.serial %} \\ or any other variable except comments then it prints but when I print \textbf{% tx.comments %} \\ it gives the below error.

Couldn't render template "src/diner/bill_pdf.tt: latex error - pdflatex exited with errors: ! File ended while scanning use of \textbf . ! Emergency stop. ! ==> Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced!

I am not able to find what is wrong with this comments key data, while it working for other keys value. Even other keys also works with \multicolumn too.

Thanks. Amit Bondwal
