Subject: startCSV Wiki, Natural Table
Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 12:44:16 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <39494C5D-C1FA-46AC-9F98-735EFEF642CB@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I was using in the past (MKII) a snippet of code to produce (natural) tables from CSV. I was trying to compile my code with MKIV, but this does not work anymore. As a matter of fact, it doe snot work at all, nor MKII, nor MKIV (probably my error !). 

So I came back to the wiki, where my code came from, and the code below is just a copy for the wiki. It is supposed to make a table with three columns, but there is only one column in the resulting table…  I admit I do not understand the code, but is there is missing \eTR somewhere ?

Thanks for any help.
Fabrice.

Ps: in case someone is interested, I use this to produce statistical tables for teaching. I can share.. !
