Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes writing, into a tree content column of a tree table, content for a plurality of rows of the tree table. The content spans multiple hierarchical levels, and the content in each of the rows is commonly aligned within the tree content column. A level-indicating icon is associated with each of the hierarchical levels of the tree table. A first level-indicating icon for a first hierarchical level of the tree table is positioned in two or more distinct rows of the tree table having content in the first hierarchical level, and a second level-indicating icon for a second hierarchical level of the tree table is positioned in at least one row of the tree table having content in the second hierarchical level. The tree table is rendered by a computer processor.
