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.
