In the hope of discovering some interesting tools I thought I should ask this august group. I know about tbl for troff and LaTeX for TEX. What other table formatters exist? Are there interactive front ends to these packages? Is there a table preprocessor for Scribe somewhere? Do the tools handle math or graphics or tables within tables? I'd appreciate references to published papers, pointers to implementors or user documentation, and SAMPLES! Its always interesting to see how tough table formatting problems are handled by various tools. Cheers Rick Beach Xerox PARC
