Hi, thanks I didn't know that (Plain) package. (although I finally found it in TeXLive, the tapdoc.tex documentation file needs to be compiled, and texdoc tap yields many results but seemingly nothing related to tap ... I found it on my local disk only after having downloaded it from CTAN and compiled) probably the answer is : "yes and no" no, as it doesn't seem to have implemented in TeX/LaTeX the org syntax for tables: if I am not mistaken tapdoc.pdf seems to indicate that rows start with \B! and end with \E! (at least it is what I see from the code samples given) yes, as it seems to have a syntax of its own which appears to be somewhat akin to the org syntax best Jean-François _______________________________________________ auctex mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex
