TableText Command

TableText[ <List>, <List>, ... ]

Creates a text that contains a table of the list objects.

Note: By default, each list is displayed in its own row of the table.

Examples:

• TableText[{x^2, 4}, {x^3, 8}, {x^4, 16}] creates a table as a text object with three rows and two columns. All items of the table are left aligned.
• TableText[Sequence[i^2, i, 1, 10]] creates a table as a text object with one row. All items of the table are left aligned.

TableText[ <List>, <List>, ..., <Alignment of Text> ]

Creates a text that contains a table of the list objects. The optional text “Alignment of text” controls the orientation and alignment of the table text.

Note: Possible values are "vl", "vc", "vr", "v", "h", "hl", "hc", "hr". Default is "hl".

• "v" = vertical, i. e. lists are columns
• "h" = horizontal, i. e. lists are rows
• "l" = left aligned
• "r" = right aligned
• "c" = centered

Examples:

• TableText[{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 4, 9, 16}, "v"] creates a text with two columns and four rows whose elements are left aligned.
• TableText[{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 4, 9, 16}, "h"] creates a text with two rows and four columns whose elements are left aligned.
• TableText[{11.2, 123.1, 32423.9, "234.0"}, "vr"] creates a text with one column whose elements are right aligned.

It's now possible to insert:

• different types of brackets, using the following symbols ||||, ||, {}, [] or ()
• line separators, using the symbol _
• column separators, using the symbol |

Examples:

• TableText[{1, 2}, {3, 4}, "c()"] creates the text \begin{pmatrix}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{pmatrix}
• TableText[{1, 2}, {3, 4}, "c|_"] creates the text
• TableText[{1, 2}, {3, 4}, "||"] creates the text \begin{vmatrix}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{vmatrix}
• TableText[{1, 2}, {3, 4}, "||||"] creates the text \begin{Vmatrix}{} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \\ \end{Vmatrix}
• TableText[{{"2x+3y=5","5x+8y=12"}},"{v"] creates the text \left\{\begin{matrix} 2x+3y=1\\ x-2y=-5 \end{matrix}\right.
• TableText[{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}}, "-/|_v"] creates a table with border and no separation lines
• TableText[{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 2, 3, 4}}, "|11001 _110001 h"]creates a table with border and one separation line to the right of the first column and under the first row of contents. The value 1 in the syntax means that there is a separation line between the numbers and the value 0 means that there is no separation line or border.

Note: Clicking on a TableText object displays its style bar, which allows the user to customize the object's appearance, background and text colour, text and lines style. It is now possible to control the colour of the single lines in the table.
