    Tables

    1 Tables

    The LaTeX rendering of tables is awful. It has been designed for print in black and white. Fortunately, LaTeX2Web renders LaTeX tables in a way that makes them more usable.

    LaTeX tables are actually wrappers for LaTeX tabular environments, which contain the actual data. Here is a minimum LaTeX table. Rows are automatically “striped”, and they change tint on hever.

    Table 1. A minimal example
    one two three
    four five six

    Here is the code. 

    \begin{table}
\caption{A minimal example}
\begin{tabular}
one & two & three \\ 
four & five & six
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

    Normally, a LaTeX tabular environment takes a second parameter which specifies the vertical bars and alignment for each column. \hline commands have been added to the rows to add horizontal dividers.

    Table 2. An example with column alignment
    one two three
    four five six

    Note: we use the Bootstrap framework which interferes with the way the borders are drawn.

    Here is the code. 

    \begin{table}
\caption{An example with column alignment}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|r}
\hline 
one & two & three \\ 
\hline 
four & five & six \\ 
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

    You can expand the table to full window width by clicking on the icon.

    2 Summary

    Summary 1

    Tabular data is encapsulated in a tabular environment. Rows are separated by double backslashes \ \ , and columns are separated by ampersand & characters. Cells must consist in running text.

    Tables are a wrapper for tabular data that adds a caption. Tables can be expanded to full window width.

    3 CSV tables

    CSV tables are LaTeX2Web specific environment which displays a table directly form a CSV file, with many sorting and display abilities. Here is an example.
