The keyvaltable package ======================= Copyright (C) 2016 Richard Gay Released under the [LaTeX Project Public License](http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/) version 1.2 or later # Purpose The main goal of the `keyvaltable` package is to offer means for typesetting tables easily and yet still looking rather nicely in a way that separates content from presentation and with re-usable layout for tables of the same type. For this purpose, the package provides the environment `KeyValTable`, which allows one to typeset tables that have a previously defined column layout and whose rows can be produced in a key-value fashion. # Availability The `keyvaltable` package is currently in the process of being uploaded to CTAN, such that the package can become available in popular LaTeX distributions like TeXlive and MikTeX. # Manual Installation The `keyvaltable` package comes with (at least) the following files * keyvaltable.ins * keyvaltable.dtx * README.md and possibly also with * Makefile * keyvaltable.pdf (generated from keyvaltable.dtx) * keyvaltable.sty (generated from keyvaltable.dtx) To install the `keyvaltable` package, you additionally need * docstrip.tex To build the package (`keyvaltable.sty`), run one of the following ``` latex keyvaltable.ins make package (needs Makefile) ``` Put the resulting `keyvaltable.sty` somewhere where LaTeX can find it. Read the documentation of your LaTeX system to find out where this might be. # Building Documentation To build the documentation of the `keyvaltable` package, you additionally need the following classes and packages (including their dependencies) * ltxdoc * idxlayout * xcolor * showexpl * enumitem * xkeyval * booktabs * longtable * tabu * etoolbox * hypdoc * xintexpr * makecell as well as * pdflatex To build the documentation (`keyvaltable.pdf`), either run ``` make docs ``` or the following sequence of commands ``` pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx makeindex -s gind.ist -o keyvaltable.ind keyvaltable.idx makeindex -s gglo.ist -o keyvaltable.gls keyvaltable.glo pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx ``` Happy TeX'ing
