-Note that the *-form takes an additional <tt>width</tt> mandatory argument
-which specifies the width of the tabular environment; in the regular form
-the width is determined by LaTeX from the contents of the tabular environment.
-<p>
- These environments produce a box consisting of a sequence of rows of
- items, aligned vertically in columns. The mandatory and optional
- arguments consist of:
-<ul>
- <li><TT>cols</TT> Specifies the column formatting. It consists of a
- sequence of the following specifiers, at least one for each
- of the columns.
- <ul>
- <li><tt>l</tt> - A column of left-aligned items.
- <li><tt>r</tt> - A column of right-aligned items.
- <li><tt>c</tt> - A column of centered items.
- <li><tt>p{wd}</tt> - Produces a column which can be multiple lines,
- with each item typeset in a parbox
- of width wd. It works as if each item were the argument of a
- <a href="ltx-294.html"><tt>\parbox[t]{wd}</tt></a>
- command. However, a
- <a href="ltx-181.html"><tt>\\</tt></a>
- may not appear in the item, except in
- the following situations: (i) inside an environment like
- minipage, array, or tabular, (ii) inside an explicit <tt>\parbox,</tt>
- or (iii) in the scope of a
- <a href="ltx-30.html"><tt>\centering</tt></a>,
- <a href="ltx-300.html"><tt>\raggedleft</tt></a>, or
- <a href="ltx-301.html"><tt>\raggedright</tt></a>
- declaration. The latter declarations must appear
- inside braces or an environment when used in a <tt>p</tt>-column
- element.
-<p>
- <li><tt>|</tt> - A vertical line the full height and depth of the
- environment.
- <li><tt>@{text}</tt> - This inserts <tt>text</tt> in every row.
- An @-expression
- suppresses the intercolumn space normally inserted between
- columns; any desired space between the inserted text and the
- adjacent items must be included in <tt>text</tt>.
- To force the spacing between two columns to be <tt>wdth</tt>,
- use an <tt>@{\hspace{wdth}}</tt> between the column specifiers.
- An <tt>\extracolsep{wd}</tt>
- command in an @-expression causes an extra space of width <tt>wd</tt>
- to appear to the left of all subsequent columns, until
- countermanded by another <tt>\extracolsep</tt> command. Unlike
- ordinary intercolumn space, this extra space is not
- suppressed by an @-expression. An <tt>\extracolsep</tt> command can
- be used only in an @-expression in the <tt>cols</tt> argument.
- <li><tt>*{num}{cols}</tt> - Equivalent to num copies of cols, where num is
- any positive integer and cols is any list of
- column-specifiers, which may contain another *-expression.
- </ul>
-<p>
- <li><TT>pos</TT> Specifies the vertical position of the whole tabular
- environment (recall that it is a <a href="ltx-143.html">box</a>).
- The default is to align the box on the center of the environment.
- <ul>
- <li><tt>t</tt> - align on top row
- <li><tt>b</tt> - align on bottom row
- </ul>
-<p>
- <li><TT>width</TT> Specifies the width of the tabular* environment. There
- must be rubber space between columns that can stretch to fill out
- the specified width.
-</ul>
-
- Note that <a href="ltx-181.html"><tt>\\</tt></a>
- must be used to specify the end of each line of the table, except the last.
- (It must be used after the last line if an
- <a href="ltx-239.html"><tt>\hline</tt></a> command is used to put a line
- at the bottom of the table.)

-<h2>Aligning on decimal points: an example of the @ specifier</h2>
-In scientific tables it is often desirable to align the columns on a decimal
-point. This can be done using the <tt>@</tt> <tt>col</tt> specifier and
-breaking the number into the integral part in a right-justified column and
-the fractional part in a left-justified column:
-<pre>
- The following input: will display as:
-
- <tt>\begin{tabular}{r@{.}l}
- 3&14159\\ 3.14159
- 16&2\\ 16.2
- 123$456\\ \end{tabular} 123.456 </tt>
-</pre>
-Note that the decimal point is replaced by the column separator, <tt>&amp;</tt>
-and that the <tt>@</tt>suppresses the intercolumn space
-
-<h2>Another example: centering and controlling table width</h2>
-LaTeX normally sets the width of the tabular environment to "natural"
-width, i.e., determined from the contents of the columns. For narrow
-tables it is sometimes more pleasing to make them wider. The
-<tt>tabular*</tt> environments allows for setting a width; however, it
-is necessary to have rubber space between colunmns that can expand to the
-specified width. This can often be most easily accomplished by using
-an <tt>\extracolsep{wdth}</tt> command in an @ specifier as shown in the
-example below which sets the table width to 75% of the text width.
-<p>
-This example also centers the table.
-<pre>
- <tt><a href="ltx-29.html">\begin{center}</a> % put inside center environment
- \begin{tabular*}{0.75<a href="textwidth.html">\textwidth</a>}%
- {@{\extracolsep{<a href="ltx-238.html">\fill</a>}}cccr}
- label 1 &amp; label 2 &amp; label 3 &amp; label 4 \\
- <a href="ltx-239.html">\hline</a> % put a line under headers
- item 1 &amp; item 2 &amp; item 3 &amp; item 4 \\
- ...
- \end{tabular*}
- \end{center}</tt>
