% \section{Tabbing, Tabular and Array Environments}
% This section deals with `Lining It Up in Columns'. First the
% |tabbing| environment is defined, and then in second part, |tabular|
% together with its variants, |tabular*| and |array|.
%
% Note that the |tabular| defined here is essentially the original
% \LaTeX~2.09 version, not the extended version described in \emph{The
% \LaTeX\ Companion}. Use the |array| package to obtain the extended
% version.

%  \dimen(\@firsttab + i) = distance of tab stop i from left margin
%         0 <= i <= 15 (?).
%
%  \dimen\@firsttab is initialized to \@totalleftmargin, so it starts
%      at the prevailing left margin.
%
%  \@maxtab          = number of highest defined tab register
%                       probably = \@firsttab + 12
%  \@nxttabmar = tab stop number of next line's left margin
%  \@curtabmar = tab stop number of current line's left margin
%  \@curtab    = number of the current tab. At start of line,
%                      it equals \@curtabmar
%  \@hightab   = largest tab number currently defined.
%  \@tabpush   = depth of \pushtab's
%
%  \box\@curline     = contents of current line, excluding left margin
%                       skip, and excluding contents of current field
%  \box\@curfield    = contents of current field
%
%  @rjfield          = switch: T iff the last field of the line should
%                       be right-justified at the right margin.
%
%  \tabbingsep          = distance left by the \' command between the
%                       current position and the field that is
%                       ``left-shifted''.
%
%  UTILITY MACROS
%   \@stopfield  : closes the current field

%   \@startline  : starts the next line
%   \@ifatmargin : an \if that is true iff the current line.

% \subsection{array and tabular environments}
%
% \begin{oldcomments}
%
% ARRAY PARAMETERS:
%  \arraycolsep
%       : half the width separating columns in an array environment
%  \tabcolsep
%       : half the width separating columns in a tabular environment
%  \arrayrulewidth
%       : width of rules
%  \doublerulesep
%       : space between adjacent rules in array or tabular
%  \arraystretch
%       : line spacing in array and tabular environments is done by
%         placing a strut in every row of height and depth
%         \arraystretch times the height and depth of the strut
%         produced by an ordinary \strut command.
%
% PREAMBLE:
%  The PREAMBLE argument of an array or tabular environment can
%  contain the following:
%    l,r,c  : indicate where entry is to be placed.
%    |      : for vertical rule
%    @{EXP} : inserts the text EXP in every column.
%              \arraycolsep or \tabcolsep  spacing is suppressed.
%    *{N}{PRE} : equivalent to writing N copies of PRE in the preamble.
%                PRE may contain *{N'}{EXP'} expressions.
%    p{LEN} : makes entry in parbox of width LEN.
%
% SPECIAL ARRAY COMMANDS:
%   \multicolumn{N}{FORMAT}{ITEM} : replaces the next N column
%    items by ITEM, formatted according to FORMAT.
%    FORMAT should contain at most one l,r or c.
%    If it contains none, then ITEM is ignored.
%
%   \vline : draws a vertical line the height of the current row.  May
%            appear in an array element entry.
%   \hline : draws a horizontal line between rows.  Must appear either
%            before the first entry (to appear above the first row) or
%             right after a \\ command.  If followed by another \hline,
%             then adds a \vskip of \doublerulesep.
%
%   \cline{i-j} : draws horizontal lines between rows covering columns
%                 i through j, inclusive.  Multiple commands may follow
%                 one another to provide lines covering several disjoint
%                 columns
%   \extracolsep{WIDTH} : for use inside an @ in the preamble.  Causes
%               a WIDTH space to be added between columns for the rest
%                of the columns.  This is in addition to the ordinary
%                intercolumn space.
