Hi,

What packages or techniques are people using to generate tables in
emacs? I need to generate a latex table, but I don't have time to code
it. 

Thanks for any help,
Dan

Have a look table.el (for latex and html).
Also the wiki-like muse.el for complete articles.

It looks from your emails like you could use an easy method of  
generating both LaTeX and HTML -- using Org-Mode and exporting to  
various other formats can be a good way of doing that. You'll have to  
read up on Org-Mode, of course, but it's relatively simple to use and  
you're going to have to learn something or other, after all.

Hi Daniel,

You could also try zen coding for html:

   http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ZenCoding

This is also included in nXhtml, which in itself might be of interest for you.

If you want to try nXhtml then currently use the beta from here:

Hi Lennart,

Thanks for that I'll take a look at that.

Very true, I shall do that. Is that based on the table-insert command,
or is aucmode's table handling separate?

Thanks!

Hmm, not quite sure what you mean. Org-Mode has it's own, very easy to  
use table format (just ASCII tables). If you export an orgmode  
document to LaTeX it will turn the ascii tables into LaTeX tables  
(inserting the appropriate usepackage statements at the top). If  
you're not doing anything terribly sneaky you can use the standard  
export settings, and have org mode do the entire export-to-latex- 
process-with-latex-and-open-resulting-pdf dance all with one command.

Alter the command, and the same ascii tables turn into html tables,  
and the html document is opened in your default browser.

Ah yes, I had a read of the org-mode documentation, and understand
now. That simplifies things a lot. 

Thanks!
