Subject: Which Table Layout Mode
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:27:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6e2989c20904211127s4142b47bxed4f65fbc78c5e2d@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm having great difficulty finding a table mode that accomplishes
everything I need:

Multi-page: no problem
Repeating headers: no problem
Repeating footers: don't actually need columns in footers, just a
table-wide block containing diagrams and abbreviation footnotes. Must
appear on every page, though. 'tables' or 'tabulate' mode works OK.
lintetables?
Horizontal lines: no problem (except linetables?)
Alternate row shading: natural tables work fine, don't see how to do
this with 'tables'  or 'tabulate' mode. linetables?
Forced page break at arbitrary rows: [after=\page] doesn't seem to
work in natural tables, don't see how to do this with 'tables' or
'tabulate' mode. linetables?

I've tried all the table modes, including linetables and can't find a
mode that gives me all required features.
Is this combination of tabular features not possible?
