+
+% Todo: consistent namespace and get rid of not used code
+
+% In \MKIV\ the old table macros are sort of obsolete. The color extensions
+% have been removed and some code is stripped. For practical reasons the
+% \TABLE\ macros that are used are embedded in this file.
+%
+% The following code is based on TABLE 1.0 by Michael J. Wichura (August 1988.
+% We used a patched version with many overloads and extensions. The documented
+% (and larger) source can be found in \type {thrd-tab.tex}.
+%
+% Some code has been stripped. Some color has been added. Some macros have
+% been renamed. Registers have been replaces. And probably much more can be
+% cleaned up. We also need to use \tabl_tab_ prefixes here.

+%D typeset such a table. In this table, the \type {\AR} is
+%D automatically translated into the more primitive (but more
+%D verbose) commands \type {\SR}, \type {\FR}, \type {\MR} and
+%D \type {\LR} commands.

+%D To give an impression of what the (well documented) source
+%D of \TABLE\ looks like, we first implement an alternative for
+%D the numeric keys. The quantity keys (\type{q} and \type{Q})
+%D support the more european way of writing numbers:
+%D
+%D \startnarrower
+%D 100.000.000,00 instead of 100,000,000.00
+%D \stopnarrower
+%D
+%D The next table shows how to use these keys. We use braces
+%D instead of brackets because we need brackets to specify the
+%D format.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \starttable{|q[00,000]|Q[00,00]|}
+%D \HL
+%D \VL -1,2 \VL 12,35 \VL\FR
+%D \VL 11,203 \VL 2,4 \VL\LR
+%D \HL
+%D \stoptable
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D Although a more efficient implementation is possible |<|we
+%D can for instance share common macros|>| we just adapt a copy
+%D of the numeric ones. To permit double loading of this
+%D module, we check for the existence of one of the macros.
+
+%D To be compatible with the tabulate environment, we also
+%D support the \type {l}, \type {c} and \type {r} keys for
+%D paragraph entries.
+
+%D All commands that are executed between rows are to be put in
+%D \type {\noalign}. We can however not verify if we (that is
+%D \TABLE) does or did not enter this mode. A moderate dirty
+%D but useful trick is using our own alternative:\footnote{Once
+%D one has entered the stage of redefining \TEX\ primitives,
+%D such hacks become a second nature. However, redefining \type
+%D {\omit} and \type{\span} is not that easy.}

+%D When the table in the previous example is split across
+%D pages, only the first gets a head. We could have said
+%D something like:
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \starttablehead
+%D \HL
+%D \VL element \VL atom weight \VL\AR
+%D \HL
+%D \stoptablehead
+%D
+%D \starttabletail
+%D \HL
+%D \stoptabletail
+%D
+%D \starttables[|||]
+%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
+%D \VL ....... \VL ........... \VL\AR
+%D \stoptables
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D This time each split table gets a head line and ends with
+%D a rule. Keep in mind that such heads also apply to the
+%D unbroken ones and should be defined local (grouped) if
+%D needed. The rather complicated definition below is due to
+%D the fact that the stopcondition is interface language
+%D dependant.

+\letvalue{\e!start\v!tablehead}\relax
+\letvalue{\e!stop \v!tablehead}\relax
+\letvalue{\e!start\v!tabletail}\relax
+\letvalue{\e!stop \v!tabletail}\relax
+
+%D The second argument is a dummy one, by scanning for it, we
+%D get rid of interfering spaces.

+
+%D Redundant \type{\HL}'s are removed automatically, so
+%D mid||lines can be used without problems.
+
+%D The order of the next macros is more or less random. First
+%D we implement error recovery. Errors are reported to the
+%D screen and log file as well as visualized in the table in
+%D teletype.

+
+%D Next we enter the more complicated area of column and row
+%D switching. I won't go into much detail from now on, but just
+%D mention the general principles.
+%D
+%D \startitemize[3*ruim]
+%D \sym{\type{\SR}} end a separate row (between rules)
+%D \sym{\type{\FR}} end a first row (after a rule)
+%D \sym{\type{\MR}} end a mid row (between text lines)
+%D \sym{\type{\LR}} end a last row (before a rule)
+%D \stopitemize
+%D
+%D and best of all:
+%D
+%D \startitemize[continue]
+%D \sym{\type{\AR}} end a row with automatic spacing
+%D \stopitemize
+%D
+%D As far as possible, we report confusing situations. In
+%D most cases one can use \type{\AR}, which transfigurates
+%D itself into one of the other types.
+%D
+%D \starttyping
+%D \starttable[||]
+%D \HL
+%D \VL a separate row \VL\SR
+%D \HL
+%D \VL a first row \VL\FR
+%D \VL a mid row \VL\MR
+%D \VL a last row \VL\LR
+%D \HL
+%D \stoptable
+%D \stoptyping
+%D
+%D In this example we could have used \type{\AR} without
+%D problems.
+%D
+%D Color or gray scale backgrounds precede the content. They
+%D are passed over horizontal (division) lines when needed.
+%D Errors in the color template are traced elsewhere. Here we
+%D only check for inconsistent spacing. Due to the way \TEX\
+%D handles alignments, we cannot automate spacing for colored
+%D rows and columns.

+%D \typebuffer[b]

+%D The first table is typeset using the default height and
+%D depth factors .8 and .4. The second table has both factors
+%D set to \type {strut}, and the third table shows what
+%D happens when we set the values to zero. The rightmost table
+%D is typeset using the tabulate environment.
