And similar for `\midrule` and `\bottomrule`.
This facilitates redefining `\toprule`, `\midrule`, and `\bottomrule`
without needing to gobble the ()s.
Closes#8223.
The writer uses features from the longtable package to define the table
foot. Furthermore, the table's bottom rule is now part of the foot,
where it previously was given as part of the body.
These commands take optional arguments with () and [],
which can lead to problems if the content of the table
cell begins with these characters.
Closes#8001.
In some cases, the rounding performed by the LaTeX table
writer would introduce visible overrun outside the text
area.
This adds two more decimal places to the width values.
In recent versions the table headers were no longer bottom-aligned
(if more than one line). This patch fixes that by using minipages
for table headers in non-simple tables.
Closes#7347.
In 2.11.3 we started adding `\addlinespace`, which produced less
dense tables. This wasn't an intentional change; I misunderstood
a comment in the discussion leading up to the change. This commit
restores the earlier default table appearance.
Note that if you want a less dense table, you can use something like
`\def\arraystretch{1.5}` in your header.
Closes#6996.
+ Remove the `\strut` that was added at the end of minipage
environments in cells.
+ Replace `\tabularnewline` with `\\ \addlinespace`.
Closes#6842, closes#6860.
We now have LaTeX do the calculation, using `\tabcolsep`.
So we should now have accurate relative column widths no
matter what the text width.
The default template has been modified to load the calc
package if tables are used.
This fixes a bug wherein footnotes appeared in the wrong
order, and with duplicate numbers, when in table captions
and cells.
We now use regular `\footnote` commands, even in the table
caption and the minipages containing cells. Apparently
longtable knows how to handle this.
Closes#5367.
