[comp.text.tex] UPLOAD: supertab.sty--new version

DHOSEK@HMCVAX.CLAREMONT.EDU (Don Hosek--ymir archive) (05/31/91)

The latest version of supertab.sty has been uploaded as
ymir.claremont.edu:[anonymous.tex.inputs.latex-contrib]supertab.*
It was FTP'd from archive.cs.ruu.nl on 30-May-1991.

supertab.sty defines a supertabular environment which works like
tabular but can be split across pages with recurring table heads
and feet.

This version includes bug fixes and enhancements added by
Johannes Braams. The following is excerpted from the change
listing:

% 15.02.91  - Because of the check for the use of tablefirsthead the
% V 3.6a      combination of an \hline in the head and an \hline as the first
%             thing in the data went wrong. The \futurelet in the definition
%             of \hline found \fi instead of \hline, so no \doublerulesep
%             was added.
%             Also had to modify the way the environments were defined.
%             The blank space (from the CR after the argument of \supertabular)
%             has to be gobbled. This can only be done using a construction
%             like \def\command#1 {...}. So removed the use of \newenvironment
% 04.02.91  - Added the commands \topcaption, \bottomcaption and \tablecaption
% V 3.6       to include a caption within the supertabular environment. The
%             default behaviour is to put the caption before the actual start
%             of the table.
%           - Also added \tablefirsthead and \tablelasttail to let the
%             user specify a different head for the first page of the table
%             and for consecutive pages as well as different tails for first
%             pages and the last one. If these commands are not used, the
%             default behaviour will be to use the value of \tablehead end
%             \tabletail
%           - Removed the need for the \noalign{\global\let\\=\@stabularcr}
%             commands by storing and resetting \@stabularcr
%
% 16.10.90  Added the supertabular* environment that was in an earlier
% V 3.5     version (2.0) by the original author
%           Reintroduced the version numbering
