What could OP mean in the booktabs section about a necessity in LaTeX's table layout for vertical separators? The linked-to post seems to mean vertical rules (as opposed to inter-line vertical separation), but vertical rules are obviously not required in LaTeX tables. And, some inter-column space typically has to be there.
- peatmoss 12y agoYeah, vertical rules aren't necessary in standard LaTeX, but I think I get where he's coming from. Most people who grok publication-quality tables are probably using booktabs already, and those who don't are probably overusing vertical rules.
- grayclhn 12y agoI don't know what OP meant, but I've found booktabs to be essential for making attractive tables. The package manual is pretty informative: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/booktabs/booktabs.pdf http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/booktab...
