I have some macros, which I helped write, to TeX *large* tables (eg. character tables that extend over several pages), and I want to use them inside LaTeX. One of the features of these macros is that if a table goes over more than one page the table header is automatically put at the top of the new page. It does this with the (I think) sneaky command: \output={\plainoutput\TableHeader} Question: how can I do this in LaTeX? - \plainoutput is not defined in LaTeX. Will post a summary of replies. If anyone is interested in the table macros let me know. Andrew -- Andrew - smile at a stranger today and help make the world a better place; while you're, at it, why not hug a friend!

Since constructing large multipage tables is one of the great deficencies of TeX/LaTeX and requests asking how to do it appear with some frequency, I think a general posting of your macros along with some examples of their use would be well received. -- Guy Metcalfe Duke University Dept. of Physics guy@phy.duke.edu & Center for Nonlinear Studies guy@physics.phy.duke.edu Durham, N.C. 27706 guy%phy.duke.edu@cs.duke.edu

The problem is I can't remember for sure where I got this style. The most probable site is sun.soe.clarkson.edu. As far as I tried it it does good work so you might try this one for LaTeX.

I have much success with Theo Jurrien's `supertab.sty', revised by
Gabriele Kruljac, with LaTeX. It now understands the p parameter in
tabular, for anyone who used the first version.
I can post to people who can't locate it elsewhere
