On Thu, 22 Sep 2005, Heiko Oberdiek submitted two new packages to CTAN:
tabularht v1.0
tabularkv v1.0
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/
License: LPPL 1.3
>From the README of tabularht:
% Function: This package defines some environments that adds
% a height specification to tabular and array.
%
% Use: usepackage{tabularht}
%
% The package provides the following environments
% that extend the tabular/array environment by
% a height specification as first argument:
% * tabularht, tabularht*
% * arrayht
% * tabularxht, tabularxht*
% (if package tabularx is loaded)
%
% Example:
% documentclass{article}
% usepackage{tabularht}
%
% egin{document}
% fbox{%
% egin{tabularht*}{1in}{4in}{@{}l@{extracolsep{fill}}r@{}}
% upper left corner & upper right corner\%
%
oalign{vfill}%
% multicolumn{2}{@{}c@{}}{bounding box}\
%
oalign{vfill}%
% lower left corner & lower right corner\
% end{tabularht*}%
% }
% end{document}
>From the README of tabularkv:
% Function: This package adds a key value interface for tabular
% by the new environment tabularkv. Thus the TeX
% source code looks better by named parameters,
% especially if package tabularht is used.
%
% Use: usepackage{tabularkv}
%
% The package provides the environment tabularkv
% that takes an optional argument with tabular
% parameters:
% * width (width specification, tabular* is used)
% * x (width specification, tabularx is used,
% package tabularx must be loaded)
% * height (height specification, see package tabularht)
% * valign (vertical positioning, this option is optional)
% values: top, bottom, center
%
% Parameter valign optional, the following are
% equivalent:
% egin{tabularkv}[..., valign=top]{l}...end{tabularkv}
% egin{tabularkv}[...][t]{l}...end{tabularkv}
%
% Example:
% documentclass{article}
% usepackage{tabularkv}
%
% egin{document}
% fbox{%
% egin{tabularkv}[
% width=4in,
% height=1in,
% valign=center
% ]{@{}l@{extracolsep{fill}}r@{}}
% upper left corner & upper right corner\%
%
oalign{vfill}%
% multicolumn{2}{@{}c@{}}{bounding box}\
%
oalign{vfill}%
% lower left corner & lower right corner\
% end{tabularkv}%
% }
% end{document}
Thanks for the upload.
