Hello!
Once in a while I need a radiotable inside my LaTeX file and I'm asking to
implement a parameter for the use of booktabs.
This is an example I picked from the manual of orgmode and added
\verb|\toprule|, \verb|\bottomrule|, :booktabs t and some other details.
This is the tabular in \LaTeX:
\begin{tabular}{lrrr}\toprule
Month & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Days} & Nr.\ sold & per day\\\midrule
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
Jan & 23 & 55 & 2.4 \\
Feb & 21 & 16 & 0.8 \\
March & 22 & 278 & 12.6 \\
\hline
S: & 66 & & \\
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
And here comes the source:
\begin{verbatim}
#+ORGTBL: SEND salesfigures orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 2 :booktabs t
| Month | Days | Nr sold | per day |
|-------+------+---------+---------|
| Jan | 23 | 55 | 2.4 |
| Feb | 21 | 16 | 0.8 |
| March | 22 | 278 | 12.6 |
|-------+------+---------+---------|
| S: | 66 | | |
#+TBLFM: $4=$3/$2;%.1f::@5$2=vsum(@I..II)
\end{verbatim}
The parameter ":booktabs t" would be new.
To what end? You see, my table uses the booktabs package and I can, as
displayed above, use \verb|\toprule| and \verb|\bottomrule| in the "spliced"
tabular. But inside the tabular, all horizontal lines become
"hline"(s), which is, well, not ugly, but disturbing. Instead of each
hline a midrule is needed.
You can take this email and compile it with pdflatex. You'll see, that
some space is missing between the ``S:'' and the hline.
So would it be possible to implement the parameter ":booktabs t"
without much trouble?
Kind regards,
Alexander
