Hi Harbs, I see code for Tables, but I'm not sure it is "officially" there. Or even complete, or even working at a prototype-level.

I might be able to ask folks who used to work on it a few questions, but I'm pretty sure their memories of it are pretty dim by now. -Alex On 9/10/13 6:16 AM, "Harbs" <harbs.li...@gmail.com> wrote: >I knew I was going to spend some real time on this one day, and that time >is coming really soonŠ > >Before I dig in too deeply, what's the status on TLF Table support?
