Using array structures in LaTeX: The package 'forarray'
Version 1.01 (2008/06/20)
Abstract:
The package 'forarray' provides functionality for processing lists and
array structures in LaTeX. Arrays can contain characters as well as TeX
and LaTeX commands, nesting of arrays is possible, and arrays are
processed within the same brace level as their surrounding environment.
Array levels can be delimited by characters or control sequences
defined by the user. Practical uses of this package include data
management, construction of lists and tables, and calculations based on
the contents of lists and arrays.
Copyright:
The package 'forarray' is (c) 2008 by Christian Schröppel, and
distributed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL),
version 1.3c.
Content:
The package 'forarray' consists of the master file 'forarray.dtm', the
file 'README.txt', and the derived files 'forarray.dtx',
'forarray.sty', 'forarray.pdf', 'forarray-test.tex', and
'forarray-test.pdf'.
Installation:
In order to use the package, you need to save the file 'forarray.sty'
to a directory where your LaTeX installation will find it. This will
often be <your local texmf directory>/tex/latex/forarray. Please
consult the manuals for your LaTeX system for further information. In
many cases, it will be possible to use a package manager provided with
your LaTeX system to install the package.
Documentation:
The file 'forarray.pdf' contains the documentation for the package
'forarray'.
The file 'README.txt' contains some basic information about the package.
The file 'forarray-test.tex' can be used to obtain a test page for the
package. You can run this file with your LaTeX installation and compare
the result with the file 'forarray-test.pdf' to check if everything
works well.
DTM File:
You can obtain the files 'forarray.dtx', 'forarray.sty',
'forarray.pdf', 'forarray-test.tex', and 'forarray-test.pdf', as well
as 'README.txt' by placing the files 'forarray.dtm', 'forarray.dts' and
the Bourne shell script 'forarray' in a single directory and typing in
forarray at the command prompt (after cd <your empty directory>). The
installation script 'forarray' and the documentation style file
'forarray.dts' are not part of the package 'forarray'. Please note,
however, that the provisions in the section "No warranty" of the LaTeX
Project Public License (LPPL), version 1.3c, exempting the author and
other parties from liability with regard to the work, apply to the
contents of the package as well as to these files.
