Moritz R. Schäfer submitted the
booktabstabular
package.
Version number: 1.0.0
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Automatic application of the booktabs style
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The booktabstabular package provides wrapper environments around tabular and
tabular* that insert \toprule at the beginning, \bottomrule at the end, and
locally remap the legacy \hline and \cline commands to their booktabs
equivalents \midrule and \cmidrule. It also provides commands to temporarily
override the standard tabular and tabular* environments so that existing
documents can opt into this behaviour without rewriting each table.
