I have received several earnest requests over the years for LaTeX
'longtable' output, and I have just implemented it based on a sample
LaTeX longtable output file.
I have called it 'latex-longtable' and implemented all the behaviors of
ordinary latex mode. One feature is that in latex-longtable mode,
'tableattr' allows control over the column widths --- that seemed to be
very important to the users. One requested change I made to the
ordinary latex output was to suppress the line under the table title if
border = 0 (default is border = 1).
Patch and sample output attached. I would like to apply this for PG
9.3.
