See struct.ss. Use @make-table with lists and flows, like this:


@make-table['center]{
     @list[@list[@make-flow{@list[@t{hello} @t{world} @t{bye} @t{boy}]}
                     @make-flow{@list[@t{1}      @t{2}        @t 
{3}    @t{4}]}]]}

OR, which is what I was about to do: define a function in your  
document (which is a program after all) that consumes a bunch of  
stuff and arranges it for you

@(define (table . stuff) ...)
