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.
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
make package (needs Makefile)
Put the resulting keyvaltable.sty somewhere where LaTeX can find it.
Read the documentation of your LaTeX system to find out where this
might be.
To build the documentation of the keyvaltable package, you additionally
need the following classes and packages (including their dependencies)
- rgltxdoc
- etoc
- amssymb, gensymb, fontawesome
- xspace
- xintexpr
- makecell, cellspace
- tabularx, longtable, xltabular, tabu
- filecontents
- datatool, csvsimple
as well as
- pdflatex
To build the documentation (keyvaltable.pdf), either run
make docs
or the following sequence of commands
pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx
makeindex -s gind.ist -o keyvaltable.ind keyvaltable.idx
makeindex -s gglo.ist -o keyvaltable.gls keyvaltable.glo
pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx
pdflatex keyvaltable.dtx
