+The LaTeX-package ``fcolumn''
+
+In financial reports, text and currency amounts are regularly put in
+one table, e.g., a year balance or a profit-and-loss overview.
+This package provides the settings for automatically typesetting
+such columns, including the sum line (preceded by a rule of the correct
+width), using the specifier ``f''.
+
+The column specifier f itself is rather simple. It is the predefined
+version of a generic column F. The generic version expects three
+arguments: |#1| is the separator, |#2| is the decimal mark, and |#3|
+the coding used for grouping digits of the integer part and decimal
+part. For example the f-column in the current version of the package
+is using 3.2 as #3, meaning that numbers are typeset with 2 decimal
+digits and grouping is done on 3 digits. The decimal separator is
+``,'' and the grouping character is ``.'', thereby coding for the
+continental European standard. People in the Anglo-saxon world would
+rather code |\newcolumntype{f}{F{,}{.}{3,2}}|.
+
+To show where and how the f-column is used, let's look at a typical
+financial table.
+
+properties 31 dec 2014 debts 31 dec 2014
+-----------------------------------------------------
+house 200.000,00 equity capital 50.000,00
+bank account -603,23 mortgage 150.000,00
+savings 28.000,00
+cash 145,85 profit 27.542,62
+ ---------- ----------
+ 227.542,62 227.542,62
+
+The core part of the table is input as
+\begin{table}
+\begin{tabular}{lflf}
+house & 20000000 & equity capital & 5000000\\
+bank account & -60323 & mortgage & 15000000\\
+savings & 2800000\\
+cash & 14585 & profit & 2754262\\
+\sumline
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+The column specifier ``f'' (for ``finance'') is able to do the
+typesetting. It constructs the sum line, typesets the numbers,
+calculates the totals, and checks whether the two columns are in
+balance; if not, the user is warned via a message. A special command
+\resetsumline exists which alllows one to restart a table, so that
+multiple tables in one tabular environment are possible.
