| Nov 6 at 20:48 | comment | added | bliako | Well, I am doing this study with the synthetic data in order to find the best table package for 100x100 tables. And I was stuck with the forloop. Behind the scenes I am using a template system (perl) to produce latex tables. So I have already the power of loops and would prefer not to add another language to the mix. Intially, I wanted to ask a question whether there is a table-splitting package and started preparing some data for demonstrating the long tables. But then I thought perhaps the question will be closed if it was just asking about a package. Anyway, I will ask the question. | |
| Nov 6 at 19:20 | comment | added | Mico | @bliako - I thought your concern was with the getting the for loop running properly. Is your real concern about creating tables with more than, say, 20 columns, possibly via some kind of automated table splitting mechanism? If so, you should post a query directly about this subject. Aside: What exactly is keeping you from moving from pdfLaTeX to LuaLaTeX? (LuaLaTeX has been rather stable for more than a decade by now...) | |
| Nov 6 at 19:00 | comment | added | bliako | thanks, but i am not ready to move to lualatex. Although the alternative below looks much scarier :) So, you reckon there is no package for handling long rows? I was hoping I could find an automated table-splitter, so as to create 20x20 tables for me for arbitrary table data and float them. | |
