-calctab package - Autocalc table environment

+calctab package - A language for numeric tables
+version 0.6 2009/03/28
-The calctab package help the user to typeset a kind of economic table such as invoices, expense notes and liquidation, or other tabular material with a values column.
-The code compute sum and percentage with floating point numeric method (with fltpoint package by Eckhart Guthoehrlein) and formatting table action.
+1 - Introduction
+The calctab package helps the user to typeset a kind of economic table such as invoices, expense notes and liquidation, or other tabular material with a values columns.
+The code computes sum and percentage with floating point numeric method (with the fltpoint package by Eckhart Guthoehrlein) and builds the render table task.
+Economics items may be are independent values or not like sums and percentage on previous values. The language must be expressive concerning together data and its relationships.
-A standard tabular environment works well but force the user to write in a generic LaTeX language without a conceptual relation among the economic items. In addition a lot of formatting command takes the same relevance of the document main data.
+2 - Calctab and xcalctab environments
+The calctab environment allow you to typesetting a table with only one values column beside a label and a description columns.
+In the xcalctab environment the values of two columns are multiplied and the result is printed in a third column.
+Please read the calctab user manual for more information and example.
-So, the priority is to add a new language element.
+3 - Language
+A standard tabular environment works well but force the user to think in a generic LaTeX language without a conceptual relation among the items. In addition a lot of formatting commands takes the same relevance of the main data.
-Economics items may be are independent values or not like sums and percentage on previous values. The language must be expressive concerning together data and its relations.
+4 - Feedback and language enhancements
+This version waiting for the user help and feedback and somehow a powerful implemented language to adjust all the view property such as row numbering, label type, coloring, etc.
+Finally, I hope in a new infrastructure design which allow to building table with an object oriented language (ool).
-This experimental version waiting for the user help and feedback and somehow a powerful implemented language to adjust all the view property such as row numbering, label operation, coloring, etc.
