- taeric 9y agoTables amuse me. I honestly think they are easier in raw TeX. Though, they are a pain in all languages, sometimes. Word, TeX, HTML, I don't think anyone has ever succeeded at the perfect table.
- Turing_Machine 9y agoYes, tables appear to be a Hard Problem. Conceptually, there's not much to them -- a grid with one item in each grid square. How hard could it be? Yet somehow, coming up with a system that produces nice-looking tables while using syntax that doesn't make you gouge your eyes out seems to be very difficult.
