% Since this file is not available in every distribution, we
% have copied the original in this file. The manuals to
% Wichura's PiCTeX and TaBlE packages are not available on
% line and are distributed by respectively the TeX Users Group
% and Personal TeX Inc. Many macros of TaBlE are overloaded
% and/or extended in core-tab.tex. The extensions concern
% splitting over pages, color and consistent spacing.

% We've patched this file for catcode ! because in luatex we use
% catcode tables and using unprotect/protect is cleaner.

% TABLE 1.0
% Copyright Michael J. Wichura August 1988

% The TABLE macros are divided into sections, roughly according to
% function:

% Section Name        Function
% a       Allocation  Allocates storage registers for parameters.
% f       Format      Reads format section; builds preamble for \halign;
%                      processes \ReFormat command.
% g       Get Value   Converts "spec"'s (as in spec_{LT}) to
%                      corresponding "values"'s (as in value_{LT}).
% h       Hacks       Utility macros; error messages; miscellaneous commands.
% k       Keys        Definition and scanning of format keys.
% n       Numeric     Macros for TABLE's numeric format.
% s       Struts      Macros for struts.
% t       Tables      Sets up \halign for table; end-of-row processing;
%                      alternate vertical rules; spanning; horizontal
%                      lines; stretching and shrinking; repositioning
%                      commands.

% The name of each internal macro begins with the prefix "\!t", the
% "!" having category code 11, followed by the letter of the section
% in which the macro is defined. For example, a macro beginning "\!th"
% is defined in Section h (Hacks). There a few exceptions:
% the general purpose macros "\!ttemp", "\!ttempa", "\!ttempb", and
% "\!tnext" are repeatedly defined on the spot as the need arises.

% External macros (and active characters) are defined in the following
% sections:
%    Macro                    Section
%    "                        t
%    \-                       t
%    \=                       t

% Don't try to read the TABLE macros until after you've read the
% TABLE manual. The internal documentation of the macros is
% sketchy; you need the manual to understand what's going on.
% You should also review the material on \halign s in the TeXbook,
% since TABLE uses an \halign to perform its alignments.

% In studying the TABLE macros, you should start by skimming the
% macros in the "miscellaneous hacks", "error messages", and "loops"
% subsections of Section h, as well as the "\GetValue" macro in
% Section g; these macros are called many times by the other macros.
% To continue with a "bottom-up" approach, read next Sections k,
% f, and t. (Top-downers should reverse the order.) The other
% Sections can be looked at as the need arises.

% SECTION F: FORMAT
% *********************************************************************

% As explained in Section 3.3 of the manual, TABLE alternates each
% of the user's "data" columns with a "rule" column; moreover, TABLE
% places a "dummy data" column at the left and right of a table.
% A table with  n  nominal data columns therefore actually has a
% total of
%       n        (nominal data columns)
%     +(n+1)     (rule columns)
%     + 2        (dummy data columns)
%     ____
%      2n+3
% columns.

% FORMATs job is to create an \halign preamble for the alignment
% of these (2n+3) columns. The preamble consists of templates
% for the various columns, strung together with &'s and interlaced
% with \tabskip glue specifications.

% FORMAT constructs the template for a nomimal data column according
% to the user-specified format keys. As the keys are read from left
% to right, the template is built up "from the inside out" (as
% illustrated in Section 3.1.9 of the manual), the inner-most part
% being the "#" sign. A "|" in the format terminates template
% building; the completed template is adjoined to preamble along
% with the template for the following rule column.

% Minimum column widths, if specified, are implemented by creating
% an "artificial row" with data entries of the form
%   \hskip <minimum column width>.
% This row has zero height and depth and is completely invisible.

% ALTERNATE VRULES
% *********************************************************************

% A '\|' can appear in a rule-column in place of a '|', '"', or '&'.

% If '\|' is immediately followed by a blank, a string of digits, or
% (...) [... had better be a <dimen>], a \vrule is placed in the
% rule column; the thickness of the \vrule follows TABLE's usual
% conventions. Be sure to put a blank after a string of digits.

% If '\|' is immediately followed by a '*', a user-specified default
% "pseudo"-rule is placed in the rule column. This P.R. is specified
% by the parameterless macro \PseudoVrule. For example,
% to place a "double rule" into a rule column, you could make the definition
%   \def\PseudoVrule{\hfil\vrule \hskip1pt \vrule\hfil}

% If none of the above cases applies, a non-space token follows '\|':
% that token is placed in the rule-column. To put a '*' in a
% rule-column, enter '\|{*}'. '\|\PseudoVrule' has the same effect
% as '\|*'.
