NAME
ltpretty - Use LaTeX::Table from within your text editor.
SYNOPSIS
ltpretty < lazytableDESCRIPTION
This program takes a lazy formatted LaTeX table from STDIN (typically piped from Vim or emacs) and outputs a completely formatted table.
LAZY FORMAT
The first line must contain the LaTeX::Table options (separated by semicolons ;) in the format optionname=value. The second line must contain the header, the following lines the data. Columns are separated by &. Trailing empty lines are ignored, other empty lines generate horizontal rules (as in LaTeX::Table).
EXAMPLE
theme=Meyrin;label=test;position=htb
Item:2c & Price
Gnat& per gram& 13.65
& each& 0.01
Gnu& stuffed& 92.59
Emu& stuffed& 33.33
Armadillo& frozen& 8.99VIM

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS
Our lazy format does not support multi-line headers. Just add the other header lines afterwards. More importantly, it currently does not support non-scalar LaTeX::Table options like for example columns_like_header. A future version may add this functionality.
