- I guess I'm not quite clear on what you mean by mediocre here.
- If you mean difficult to use, then I agree with you. But if you
- mean that the quality of the table is poor or that there is not
- enough flexibility in the table format then I must disagree. In
- fact, I find tables in TeX to be a thing of beauty. I notice
- that you say you do your work in LaTeX and this could account
- for the disagreement. Tables made in LaTeX using the tabular
- environment are easier to generate---but not so nice looking. I
- wish that I knew of some *easy* way to get tables as nice as I
- get in TeX!
