A typo in your library: - \def\insall_local_fence_handler#1#2% + \def\install_local_fence_handler#1#2% It makes sense to add the “tight” handler as well. It makes sense especially when the table header consists of multiple rows and column spans and is often used. > Does it make sense to include this (appropriately modified) in the > core?

Aditya, thanks an awful lot for your effort and code for a better user interface for the typesetting of tables.
