There is \starttabulate and \starttable. I understand that they use different mechanisms, even though their syntax are parallel. The wiki page [1] warns against the use of macros in tabulate, but this seems a bit obscure. Also, Tables_Overview recommends tabulate for simple tables and flags both table and tables as depreciated. I hesitate to add this information at the top of the wiki pages: Tabulate, Table and Tables as I am not clear about the status of these three mechanisms... One question: is it possible to span columns using tabulate as in table: \Use{n}[format]{data}? Alan
