+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.
