The Tabbing package
Jean-Pierre F. Drucbert · 2010
This package provides a ‘Tabbing’ environment, analog to the LTEX standard ‘tabbing’ environment, but allowing accented letters. No more \a’, \a‘ and \a= needed. 1 The Tabbing package LTEX provides the tabbing environment. But it is not user-friendly when you must use accented letters, whith the grave, acute and macron accents, \’a a, \‘a a and \=a ā. Even when you use a good input encoding on 8 bits. So the Tabbing package offers a Tabbing environment, which is a slightly modified copy of the standard tabbing environment. In the Tabbing environment, the local commands \>, , \TAB<, \TAB=, \TAB+, \TAB-, \TAB‘ and \TAB’ respectively. Hence the conversion is rather easy. Acute and grave accents are very often used in french, this environment should be useful. In the example of Figure 1, the vertical rules mark the tab stops (with the macro \tabrule, which is not part of the package) Note that the markup is more visible than in the tabbing environment, and the syntax of accented letters is the same outside and inside of the new Tabbing environment. 1 Copyright c © 1996, 1997, 1998 by Jean-Pierre F.
