LaTeX tables drive me crazy. There are tools to help, but for me, it's the least pleasant aspect of using it. Still beats Word masochism, however.

- singingfish 11y agoThe only thing I like about word is it's actually quite a good table composition tool. Just so long as you ignore the defaults that is.
- deerpig 11y agoOrg-mode has very good support for plain text tables -- which can be converted into multiple formats. Org-mode tables are pretty cool, bordering on being a spreadsheet... It's worth watching a demo, even if you never use it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTJVLJd_gz0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTJVLJd_gz0
- frankzinger 11y agoAgreed, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to put tables with first-row headings and ones with first-column headings in the same file. Any ideas?
- singingfish 11y agoI've had a go at org mode being a die hard user, but never got past the original hump. Maybe I need something that better reflects my workflow, maybe disorg-mode.
