Look for looping packages, e.g. multido and pgffor. pgffor's foreach
command seems to be quite suitable, except I haven't yet made it work
inside tabulars.

Hello everybody,
I am wondering if someone could guide me as to how to create a macro
in XeTeX that will do the following.
Background: I'm creating some files that demonstrate whether or not
OpenType features are correctly implemented in a font (for now, I am
only concerned with the correct positioning of diacritics). For this,
I would like to create a set of tables.
Across the columns of the table, I will have the diacritic marks; for
illustrative purposes, let's say they are U+0300, U+0301 and U+0311,
etc. (the actual file will have about 20 such marks)
Down the rows, I am putting characters, say U+0410 (Cyrillic A),
U+0415 (Cyrillic Ie), etc, about 50 total, not necessarily contiguous
within Unicode.
In each cell of the Table, all I need is to combine the character and
the diacritic.
So, for example, I'll have:
begin{tabular}
& ̀& ́ \\
A& À& Á \\
etc.
Here's the question: is there any way to write a TeX macro to build
this table automatically -- i.e., I feed it the list of characters and
diacritics, and it creates the Table? Basically, I'm being lazy and
not wanting to type out the entire 50x20 table.
Thanks!
Aleksandr
