Therefore I moved the default definition + to earlier in the code; just before the \if clause after which it + is called; possibly defined by \ST@newpage. This problem was + reported by Andrew Dorrell (dorrell@research.canon.com.au). + +1999-08-08 Johannes Braams (texniek at braams.cistron.nl) + + * supertabular.dtx : No longer re-initialize the internal variable + \@table@first@head and \@table@last@tail. This made it impossible + to have more than one supertabular in the same document with the + exact same appearance of the heads and tail without repeatedly + redeclaring the firsthead and/or lasttail.

The minimum is + the head, the tail and 1 line of tabular data. + +Thu Nov 28 20:38:53 1996 Johannes Braams (texniek at braams.cistron.nl) + + * supertabular.dtx: Started a cleanup of the code, made source + file a full fledged .dtx file + + Old change notes from supertabular.doc are saved here: +% +% +% supertabular sty +% original idea: Theo Jurriens 1988 +% jurriens at fwn.rug.nl P.O Box 800, 9700 AV Groningen +% +% revised by: Johannes Braams +% texniek at braams.cistron.nl TeXniek (NL) +% \def\fileversion{3.7c} +% \def\filename{supertabular sty} +% \def\filedate{1995/10/16} +% +% \changes{v3.7c}{1995/10/16}{No space after the argument of +% supertabular led to a `mysterious' error because of the space +% delemiting the argument} +% \changes{v3.7b}{1994/05/16}{Rewrote the page break deciding +% algorithm again} +% \changes{v3.7b}{1994/05/16}{Started to convert to dtx format} +% +% 05.04.93 - Supertabular didn't work correctly in twocolumn mode. +% V 3.7a Rewrote the mechanism for establishing the amount of +% space that supertabular can use. This still needs further +% thought. The algorithm to compute the places to break +% the table is still a bit fragile, especially when p{} +% columns are used. +% 10.07.92 - Still a problem in the combination of supertabular with array.sty +% V 3.6h I overlooked the fact that array doesn't use \@tabulacr anymore +% and it behaves differently with respect to \@startparbox. +% 03.07.92 - A problem in the combination of supertabular with array.sty +% V 3.6g It can be solved by removing the \string from \def\tableformat +% and passing \tableformat expanded to \tabular. +% 11.02.92 - Bug found by Michael Heissmeier when p{...} is used. +% V 3.6f A change in LaTeX.tex didn't find its way into supertabular. +% 11/03/92 JB: The following change didn't find its way into the +% \@sendpbox command. This caused a difference in linespacing +% between a supertabular and a normal tabular. +% \def\@endpbox{\unskip\strut\par\egroup\hfil} +% % 14 Jan 89: Def of \@endpbox changed from +% % \def\@endpbox{\par\vskip\dp\@arstrutbox\egroup\hfil} +% % so vertical spacing works out right if the last line of a `p' entry +% % has a descender. +% +% 01.08.91 - Take height of tabletail into account when computing the +% V 3.6e maximum tableheight; add tolerance on first (partial) page +% of the supertabular. +% 27.06.91 - Cured bug that made the first part of the table one line +% V 3.6d shorter than the others. Appeared when supertabular was +% used in a twocolumn environment. +% 26.06.91 - Made \@process@tablecaption a global macro. Previous caption +% V 3.6c turned up on a table without one. +% 27.05.91 - Replaced \clearpage with \newpage to make supertabulars work +% V 3.6b in a twocolumn environment. This also prevents all floats +% from being printed. +% 15.02.91 - Because of the check for the use of tablefirsthead the +% V 3.6a combination of an \hline in the head and an \hline as the first +% thing in the data went wrong. The \futurelet in the definition +% of \hline found \fi instead of \hline, so no \doublerulesep +% was added. +% Also had to modify the way the environments were defined. +% The blank space (from the CR after the argument of \supertabular) +% has to be gobbled. This can only be done using a construction +% like \def\command#1 {...}. So removed the use of \newenvironment +% 04.02.91 - Added the commands \topcaption, \bottomcaption and \tablecaption +% V 3.6 to include a caption within the supertabular environment. The +% default behaviour is to put the caption before the actual start +% of the table. +% - Also added \tablefirsthead and \tablelasttail to let the +% user specify a different head for the first page of the table +% and for consecutive pages as well as different tails for first +% pages and the last one. If these commands are not used, the +% default behaviour will be to use the value of \tablehead end +% \tabletail +% - Removed the need for the \noalign{\global\let\\=\@stabularcr} +% commands by storing and resetting \@stabularcr +% +% 16.10.90 Added the supertabular* environment that was in an earlier +% V 3.5 version (2.0) by the original author +% Reintroduced the version numbering +% +% revised by: Gabriele Kruljac +% kruljac at ds0mpi11 Max-Planck-Institute Stuttgart +% +% +% 06.06.89 Correction: now care is taken of probably existing onecolumn +% head (title or tables ...) in twocolumn sty. +% +% 10.05.89 Correction: the new \\ definition has been added to the +% begin of each `sub'-tabular +% Added: algorithm to produce the tabulars in twocolumn style +% +% 06.04.89 Correction: put \global statement in \end{supertabular} +% into \noalign +% +% 22.02.89 Correction: restore the original meaning of \\ with +% \end{supertabular} +% +% (Feb 89) The whole algorithm has been changed, so that I can use +% the most features of a normal tabular: +% \\ for new line, including \\[#1] +% p{...} in the preamble ... +% Account is taken to \baselinestretch and \arraystretch +% -I'm not counting the lines because of too much rounding errors +% but instead I add the (estimated) used space in pt. +% -The tablehead is taken into this algorithm of proofing, so +% I really know how much space the head uses. +% -When no p-arg is given I add a variable \midlineheight to +% calculate the used space. To calculate \midlineheight I +% take the \baselineskip, which is active when the supertabular +% starts (\baselineskip includes the \value of \baselinestretch) +% and multiply it with \arraystretch. +% -When a p-arg is given the text will be stored in a box. So +% I know the height I have to add. Also I reduce the maximum +% pagesize, so that the last parbox on a page can get up to +% max 4 lines without producing an overfull vbox. +% -To do so I had to make some additions to LaTeX's tabular +% commands. These new commands got a leading `s'. |
