I don't understand it. Do you think any of > this should be changed? This is a completly different latex rendering. Take a look at this [1]. This would bring octave matrix as a matrix to latex. The syntax is very different as compared to table syntax. And this [2] is the textable default output now and how latex would render it. it is missing the 'r' alignment parameter. if your screen size is larger than my 10" netbook screen atm, you'll see without scrolling down how the output should be :) Thx for your effort, i'll try to continue working on textable script this weekend. greetings markus [1] http://notes.osuv.de/doku.php?id=software:texwrite:example#matrixformat [2] http://notes.osuv.de/doku.php?id=software:texwrite:example#textable_m_testtex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
