Re: Re: latex export and booktabs tables

Hi Eric,

I can only agree with what has already been said, namely that this is
a very nice solution which indeed is much more generic and does not
require fiddling with the core of the distribution.

Thanks for this, this even closes, I think, the older thread or
re-opens it to further discussion ;)

Cheers,

Erik
