11 Tables<br />

In general, a table consists of columns which may be independently left adjusted, centered,<br />

right adjusted, or aligned on decimal points. Headings may be placed over single<br />

columns or groups of columns. Table entries may contain equations or several rows of<br />

text. Horizontal <strong>an</strong>d vertical lines may be drawn wholly or partially across the table.<br />

This is what Michael J. Wichura wrote in the preface of the m<strong>an</strong>ual of T A B L E (T A B L E m<strong>an</strong>ual,<br />

1988.). Michael Wichura is also the author of the T A B L E macros CONT E XT is relying on<br />

when processing tables. A few CONT E XT macros were added to take care of consistent line<br />

spacing <strong>an</strong>d to make the interface a little less cryptic. 3<br />
