Table macros: msg#00411

Subject: Table macros

Hello

I have made some changes to my macros and separated them out into separate scripts for iTeXMac and TeXShop. Jerome and Dick may like to include them with their distributions - feel free to do anything with them that you like.

The four scripts are:

New tabular
New maths array
Add column
Delete column

Basically, what the first two scripts do is ask how many row and columns you'd like and builds up a tabular/array structure filled in with all the ampersands and empty cells.

The Add and Delete column macros are a little rough around the edges, but I don't have time (and Applescript doesn't have very good capabilities) to improve them. To use them, you select the table/array you wish to edit and run the scripts - Add column will do what it says, adding ampersands and empty cells to create a new column. Delete column will delete all of the cells in a specified column. Note that they don't work on rows with \multicolumn cells.

They will only work on tables in the following form:

...
a & b & c \\
d & e & f \\
...

ie all columns must end with a newline and every text line must contain the whole row.

To install them you can just copy/paste into the macro editors of the two programs...

You can get them from:
