NAME¶
ltpretty - Use LaTeX::Table from within your text editor.
SYNOPSIS¶
ltpretty < lazytable
DESCRIPTION¶
This program takes a
lazy formatted LaTeX table from STDIN (typically
piped from Vim or emacs) and outputs a completely formatted table.
The first line must contain the LaTeX::Table options (separated by semicolons
";") in the format "optionname=value". The second line
must contain the header, the following lines the data. Columns are separated
by "&". Trailing empty lines are ignored, other empty lines
generate horizontal rules (as in LaTeX::Table).
EXAMPLE¶
theme=Meyrin;label=test;position=htb
Item:2c & Price
Gnat& per gram& 13.65
& each& 0.01
Gnu& stuffed& 92.59
Emu& stuffed& 33.33
Armadillo& frozen& 8.99
VIM¶
- 1. Select the text in "VISUAL LINE" mode
("shift+v").
- 2. Type "!ltpretty"
EMACS¶
- 1. Select the text
- 2. Press "alt+|"
- 3. Now "Shell command on region" should appear. Type
"ltpretty"
OUTPUT¶
% theme=Meyrin;label=test;position=htb
% Item:2c & Price
% Gnat& per gram& 13.65
% & each& 0.01
%
% Gnu& stuffed& 92.59
% Emu& stuffed& 33.33
% Armadillo& frozen& 8.99
\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{llr}
\toprule
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Item} & Price \\
\midrule
Gnat & per gram & 13.65 \\
& each & 0.01 \\
\midrule
Gnu & stuffed & 92.59 \\
Emu & stuffed & 33.33 \\
Armadillo & frozen & 8.99 \\

CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT¶
"ltpretty" does not support configuration files or environment
variables.
DEPENDENCIES¶
LaTeX::Table
BUGS AND LIMITATIONS¶
Our
lazy format does not support multi-line headers. Just add the other
header lines afterwards. More importantly, it currently does not support
non-scalar LaTeX::Table options like for example
"columns_like_header". A future version may add this functionality.
