<div class="single"><h2>Description</h2>
<div><tt>stack(m,n,...)</tt> -- joins nets or strings by concatenating them vertically. The baseline of the result is the baseline of the first argument.<p/>
Nested sequences among the arguments are first spliced together.<p/>
If there are no arguments, then the net returned has zero height and zero depth. This might be unexpected.<p/>
Tab characters in any of the strings are first expanded into spaces, assuming tab stops at every eighth column.<p/>
Null arguments are allowed and ignored.</div>
