latextable -- produces LaTeX snippets. E.g. From table data/code into LaTeX tables/captions. Program Name : latextable ('=Bin=') Usage Example : latextable -_ -w 12 -3 4..8 # Assuming 12 columns and treat some column in numbers and emphasize spaces. Give the tab separated table from STDIN, then it yields a LaTeX table code from "\begin{table})..". Labor-saving to create LaTeX tables from the copy/paste from Excel and SQL outputs, etc. Main functions : NOT ONLY performing the tedious work in typing LaTeX codes such as (1) transforming tab characters into ampersands (&) characters for table environments, (2) adding the "\hline" on the beginning and the ending inside the tabular environments, BUT ALSO (3) grouping every 3 digits by comma on numbers >= 1000 and aligning toward right in a column, (4) properly modifying various signs \~!<>_%#&$ fitting into LaTeX (with -j, Japanese half-width as well), (5) emphasizing the space chacters both usual half-size space and full-width space, (6) by with -_, emphasizing the fullsize hyphen to indicate that it differs from prolonged sound sign. Options : -/ REGEX : Specifying the input delimter. Default is tab character. You can specify as -/ , for pseudo-CSV. -= : To indicate that the first line in STDIN is the header, to yield "\hline" btw. 1st and 2nd lines. -w N : Specification of the max number of columns. The columns over this limit will be neglected. -$ : -\$ の指定によりあふれた列は、列を増やさずに残すこと指定。 -j : For Japanese half-width character. The LaTeX output utilize \scalebox{0.5}[1]{...} -s N : N is the displaying magnifying factor. Often used for large-size table to reduce the physical size. -_ : To emphasize the space character. Both for half-width \x{20} and full-width \x{3000}. -0 regex ; The regex will be removed in the output. E.g, if you want the exact 0, specify : -0 '^0$' -1 ; The leftmost column will be : (1) separated by horizontal line, and (2) -0 will not be applied there. -3 n[..n][,n[..n]][,n[..n]].. ; Specify number columns. The leftest columns is numbered 1. -9 : Rotate the entire table 90 degree unclockwise, using "\rotatebox{90}". -x 60mm ; logical narrowing of a table for the purpose of cenering a wide table. -\' : Rotate each cell of the 1st line unclockwise. Often used that column names are long string. -p ; Suppresses the redundant comments on LaTeX output. (Primitive) -s ; remoring the spaces of : (1) consecutive space characters in the end of line and (2) blank lines. -\# str : テーブル内の各行と各列に罫線を挿入する。 -\# 1 で実線、 -\# . により点線(\usepackage{arydshln} が必要)。 -C [mnh]+ : Useful to table caption and main text. One or more characters from {m,n,h} is requried after -C -C m : encloses mbox{} for every input line ; -C n : add "\newline" in the end of every input line, to be used in Latex table caption ; -C h : add "hspace*{-6mm}" on the head of every line where the length (here -6mm) is specified by "-x -6mm". -H N : Shrinkens hexadecimal digits with more than N digits by taking the head N digits with ".." in the tail. --help : Print this online help manual of this command "'=SCRIPT='". Similar to "perldoc `which [-t] '=SCRIPT='` ". --help opt ..or.. --help options : Only shows the option helps. It is easy to read when you are in very necessary. --help ja : Shows Japanese online help manual. ; "'=script=' --help ja" で日本語のオンラインマニュアルを表示します。 --help nopod : Print this online manual using the code insdide this program without using the function of Perl POD. Remarks : - \usepackage{graphicx} is needed between \documentclass and \begin{document}, for rotating and magnifying. - The output LaTeX snippet does not work well if the column number of each line increase in a table. - Please fill in \caption{} and \label{} as neccessary in the output LaTeX code. Notes for developing : * I want to add -r switching options to specify only right alignment. * I have not yet fully investigate good LaTeX books yet. I only developed this program merely mainly by experience. # This program has been made since 2018-02-09(Fri) by Toshiyuki Shimono, as a part of TSV hacking toolset for table data.
