Hi all,

I found a very old thread on the list about using the booktabs package
to have nicer tables in latex export.

I found that, making the changes below I can use the booktab package
to export tables, and using standard tables only, this seems to work
fine.

Can anyone advice on whether this kind of change is meaningful or if
this is likely to introduce difficulties elsewhere which I did not
experience due to the limited scope of usage? It should be said that I
did not at all look into longtables so far.

Cheers,

Erik
