Hi Hans,
natural tables are perfect to create tables with a fixed size for the
cells
but the syntax requires sometimes a lot of typing for small content
and takes
to many lines of code in the document.
less code and more efficient too ... can you test this?
\def\startTABLE
{\dosingleempty\dostartTABLE}
\def\dostartTABLE[#1]%
{\bgroup
\bTABLE[#1]%
\let\NC\doTABLENC
\let\NR\doTABLENR
\let\bTR\relax
\let\bTD\relax
\let\bTH\relax
\let\bTN\relax}
\def\stopTABLE
{\eTABLE
\egroup}
\newconditional\inTABLEnc
\unexpanded\def\doTABLENR
{\eTR
\setfalse\inTABLEnc}
\unexpanded\def\doTABLENC
{\futurelet\next\dodoTABLENC}
\def\dodoTABLENC
{\ifx\next\doTABLENR \else
\expandafter\dododoTABLENC
\fi}
\long\def\dododoTABLENC#1\NC
{\ifconditional\inTABLEnc\else\settrue\inTABLEnc\parseTR[][]\fi
\parseTD[][]#1\eTD\NC}
watch the relaxing of the b commands, so that we catch mixed usage
