keyvaltable's Introduction

The keyvaltable Package

Released under the LaTeX Project Public License version 1.3c or later

Purpose

The main goal of the keyvaltable package is to offer means for typesetting tables easily and yet still looking rather nicely in a way that separates content from presentation and with re-usable layout for tables of the same type. For this purpose, the package provides the environment KeyValTable, which allows one to typeset tables that have a previously defined column layout and whose rows can be produced in a key-value fashion.

Availability

The keyvaltable package is on CTAN, where you can also find the documentation, as well as on github. Since March 2016, keyvaltable is part of TeX Live (package texlive-latex-extra) and is included in MiKTeX.

The keyvaltable package comes with (at least) the following files

keyvaltable.ins
keyvaltable.dtx
README.md

and possibly also with

Makefile
keyvaltable.pdf (generated from keyvaltable.dtx)
keyvaltable.sty (generated from keyvaltable.dtx)

To install the keyvaltable package, you additionally need

docstrip.tex

To build the package (keyvaltable.sty), run one of the following

    latex keyvaltable.ins

keyvaltable's Issues

Bug in page 17 of the documentation (keyvaltable v2.0)

The text of section 7.1 continue below the page number 17 and the text of section 7.2 is partially cut below the page number 17.

Table numbers increment incorrectly in table environment

When declaring the caption in a table environment wrapping the keyvaltable, table numbers increment by 2. IE, the first declared table will display as Table 2 instead of Table 1.
