Examples
Shows how to build a nested table without using DocumentBuilder.
public void CreateNestedTable()
{
    Document doc = new Document();

    // Create the outer table with three rows and four columns
    Table outerTable = CreateTable(doc, 3, 4, "Outer Table");
    // Add it to the document body
    doc.FirstSection.Body.AppendChild(outerTable);

    // Create another table with two rows and two columns
    Table innerTable = CreateTable(doc, 2, 2, "Inner Table");
    // Add this table to the first cell of the outer table
    outerTable.FirstRow.FirstCell.AppendChild(innerTable);

    doc.Save(ArtifactsDir + "Table.CreateNestedTable.doc");

    Assert.AreEqual(2, doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Table, true).Count); // ExSkip
}

/// <summary>
/// Creates a new table in the document with the given dimensions and text in each cell.
/// </summary>
private static Table CreateTable(Document doc, int rowCount, int cellCount, string cellText)
{
    Table table = new Table(doc);

    // Create the specified number of rows
    for (int rowId = 1; rowId <= rowCount; rowId++)
    {
        Row row = new Row(doc);
        table.AppendChild(row);

        // Create the specified number of cells for each row
        for (int cellId = 1; cellId <= cellCount; cellId++)
        {
            Cell cell = new Cell(doc);
            row.AppendChild(cell);
            // Add a blank paragraph to the cell
            cell.AppendChild(new Paragraph(doc));

            // Add the text
            cell.FirstParagraph.AppendChild(new Run(doc, cellText));
        }
    }

    // You can add title and description to your table only when added at least one row to the table first
    // This properties are meaningful for ISO / IEC 29500 compliant DOCX documents(see the OoxmlCompliance class)
    // When saved to pre-ISO/IEC 29500 formats, the properties are ignored
    table.Title = "Aspose table title";
    table.Description = "Aspose table description";

    return table;
