Nope, there were all kinds of problems with it. IIRC, I tried two different packages, one them being longtable, and I couldn't produce the output I needed. I don't remember exactly all the problems ... Either the table wouldn't fit or wouldn't go on over pages or was misplaced, or things got broken because environments were used inside the table which the table couldn't handle. Try a table that goes over several pages and has tables and enumerations inside of it, something like that ... What I'm dealing with now is emacs org mode tables: a simple table with three columns and an undefined number of rows, one per file. That's much easier to edit for me than a LaTeX source creating such a table. I could make a perl script to convert these tables to something LaTeX would understand, but I'm very reluctant to go to such lengths just to find out that it doesn't really work with multi-page tables anyway. Converting these org files into PDF shouldn't be so difficult :) -- Fedora 18 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
