ltpretty - Use LaTeX::Table from within your text editor.
ltpretty < lazytable
This program takes a lazy formatted LaTeX table from STDIN (typically piped from Vim or emacs) and outputs a completely formatted table.
The first line must contain the LaTeX::Table options (separated by semicolons ;) in the format optionname=value. The second line must contain the header, the following lines the data. Columns are separated by &. Trailing empty lines are ignored, other empty lines generate horizontal rules (as in LaTeX::Table).

ltpretty does not support configuration files or environment variables.
LaTeX::Table
Our lazy format does not support multi-line headers. Just add the other header lines afterwards. More importantly, it currently does not support non-scalar LaTeX::Table options like for example columns_like_header. A future version may add this functionality.
columns_like_header
