Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to have some vertical stretch in xtables so they fill the entire page area. I know this sounds a bit bizarre, but it would look good on slides: have an option that will automatically calculate the height of every row as \textheight/x for any x. All best Thomas

I was thinking of within (calculate height of cell), but between rows would be possible too. Thomas

the next beta has option=height (controlled by texheight=..)

xtables only or natural tables too? Steffen

No, these are completely unrelated implementations and I have no plans to extend natural tables (at least not now). Of course you can try what \usemodule[ntb-to-xtb] does with your code (but it's not meant as real replacement). Anyway I'd rather not touch the already rather complex natural table code.
