a new MyWay: really simple way to create tables
Hello, There's a new tiny piece of documentation about how to create simple tables in a simple way using comma/space/tab-separated values. For example, you can copy-paste some data from Excell and use it directly without having to add all those \NC or \eTD\bTD inbetween. You can also use '&' as a separator and imitate LaTeX way of creating tables. Comments & feedback wellcome. Mojca Just as a warning: There are two bugs left: utf-8 handling (if you don't need TeX commands in the data, you can circumvent that by using quotechar=whatever) and the last cell in the row may not be empty (you can probably put a \strut there if necessary). (Two other bugs were fixed in Taco's version, but I didn't check if it is already part of the new distribution or not.)
I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the location: as usually it's listed on http://wiki.contextgarden.net/My_Way On 7/26/06, Mojca Miklavec wrote:
