→Features
* [[Tabulate]] (tabulation, '''recommended for simple requirements''')
* [[TABLE]] (natural tables, HTML tables, '''recommended''')
* [[Linetablextables]] (new multipage extreme tables – mostly compatible to natural tables, '''experimental'''better for page breaking)* [http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf xtables] framed tables (extreme for simple tablesthat span hundreds of pages)
Older ones:
* [[Table]] (TaBlE, '''deprecated''')
* [[Tables]] (multipage TaBlE, '''deprecated''')
* [[Linetable]] ("new" multipage tables, '''experimental''' and probably obsolete)
Note that you can use natural and extreme tables with the old Table/Tabulate syntax. (To make this even more confusing...)
If you have simple tables with lots of contents, and you're tired of typing <code>\bTR\bTD</code>s or <code>\NC\NR</code>s, you can also have a look at
