\title{The \pkg{ltablex} package\thanks{This manual corresponds to \pkg{ltablex}~v1.0, dated~1995/11/06.}}
\author{Anil K. Goel (\mail{akgoel@uwaterloo.ca})}
\date{1995/11/06}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\noindent
The file modifies the \env{tabularx} environment to
combine the features of the \pkg{tabularx} package
(auto-sized columns in a fixed width table)
with those of the \pkg{longtable} package
(multi-page tables).
The tables are typeset using the \env{tabularx} environment
and the \env{longtable} environment is used internally to
handle multi-page tables. The \cmd{\setlongtables} feature
is used, and, therefore, the document should be
run through \texttt{latex} twice.
Another feature that has been added is to treat the \texttt{X}
columns like `\texttt{l}' columns if the table contents would allow
that to happen without exceeding the specified width of
the table. In other words, the specified width is
treated as the maximum allowed and not the exact width
of the table. This feature is the default but can be
disabled (or enabled) with \cmd{\keepXColumns} (or \cmd{\convertXColumns}).
Caveats:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item The document needs to be \texttt{latex}ed a couple times in general.
\item In general, it is necessary to remove the \texttt{.aux} file before
the first \texttt{latex} run on the document.
\item The table should not be larger than \TeX's memory capacity
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
Here is a a simple usage example:
%
\begin{lstlisting}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ltablex}
\textheight=4in
\begin{document}
% we want a table that is \textwidth long, has 4 columns, columns 1
% and 3 are auto sized with the 3rd columns being 3 times wider than
% the first column.

\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}%
{% col 1; auto-sized ragged right

% col 2; default centered

% col 4; default left-justified
