4 Special Rows
A “Special Row” is a row in your CSV that contains info about the document (like the title) rather than an exercise question.
educmatr spots these rows by checking the first cell. If the first cell matches a specific keyword (like “Title:”), that row is treated differently.

4.0.3 Header Row Specifics (For Tables)
If you add a Header: row for Extype 0 (Tables), you can control the columns: * Put (30) in a cell to make that column take up 30% width. * Put (hide) in a cell to hide that entire column in the Student version. * Put (nohide) to ensure a column is never hidden, even if random hiding is turned on.
