+\title{The \pkg{ltablex} package\thanks{This manual corresponds to \pkg{ltablex}~v1.0, dated~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}
+

+
+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.
