I've now carefully read your sample_data document, without trying the
examples yet. A minor thing which slightly disturbs me is that I
always have to use a formatting argument as the first element of
rmatrix. What do you think of using an optional `col' keyword for
that purpose? Originally, `col' is equal to `ccol', but this fact
isn't properly described in the original eqn documentation, so it
might be a good candidate for `abusing' it.
rmatrix "{"
[ col "{" column_specification "}" ]
"{" row1 "}"
"{" row2 "}"
...
"}"
Thus,
rmatrix {
{ a b }
{ c d }
}
would be equal to
rmatrix {
col { l l }
{ a b }
{ c d }
}
I could also imagine to make the proposed `col' keyword accept a
string of column formatters instead, similar to tbl:
col "ll"
This avoids the introduction of the new keywords `c', `l', and `r'.
BTW, could you integrate the rmatrix stuff directly into eqn.y? How
much work is it?
