Where can I find a comprehensive specification of the TaBlE module? My problem is that I want a paragraph environment in a column, but that doesn't seem to exist/work. In tabulate you can use 'p' in the template, and table doesn't complain when you use it but doesn't obide by it either. Am I missing something, for \starttable[|l|l|] \NC Something \NC Long description ... \NC\AR \stoptable makes for a very wide table (that goes off the paper). nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

You need the printed manual for the TaBlE package, which will
suggest something alone the lines:
\starttable[|l|lp(120pt)|]
\NC Something \NC Long description ... \input tufte \NC\AR
\stoptable

Hm, and this manual has to be ordered? No downloads?

Great. One problem however, what if you wan't all space not consumed by the previous columns? Too much to ask? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

Yes, AFAIK: http://www.pctex.com/additional.html#tablemacro

Too much to ask me.

No, and it's really expensive. (Sort of dongle for the TaBlE package...) see http://www.pctex.com/ Gilbert van den Dobbelsteen wrote 1998:
The TaBLe manual is sold seperately by PC-TEX. It is quiet expensive and also comes with the TaBLe package itself.
The complete package costs $69
Since I use the table macros very often, I bought it, it costed me $69 plus $20 shipping. It's a good manual with lots of examples, which aren't very abvious if you just read the source-file table.tex
There's a promotion at the moment! See http://shop.store.yahoo.com/pctex/maclimprom.html Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Hi nicolai, AFAIK there is no paragraph mechanism in de TaBlE environment. You might want to try the bTABLE eTABLE environment. Kind regards Willi Nikolai Weibull wrote:
