Ok, even with the wiki and all the manuals around (which are getting obsolete, too) there is definitely too little documentation on the various tabulation formats.
The biggest problem is that each table type has its ability, but there is nothing that can do everything.
Simplest example, I'm currently having a problem using a start/stoptabulate (which I need because \RC & friends don't work in start/stoptable) but I don't know how to span multiple columns (which can be done in start/stoptable with \use, which doesn't work in start/stoptabulate)
What am I supposed to do?
Read the sources, of course. Once I found about \ReFormat in the TaBlE mechanism, I was done. It's more verbose than the tabulate way, but it works perfectly. Should I write some documentation about TaBlE preambles and commands (for the Wiki), or would it be against some rule about its ($$$) documentation? -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
