Provide more options for nice table formatting.

This has never been an issue for me since formatting is easily added after copying latex code to a document but that approach is not automated and does not work with for example Weave.jl. It would, therefore, be nice to have better customizability of final table formatting.

Hello, I would like to know how to remove $..$ surrounding tabular elements that are not to be expressed in LaTeX math mode. I have tables that use Strings as descriptions and then separate numbers. When I "latexify( )" my matrix of items all elements get $..$ surrounding them.

How can I suppress this $ $ for certain tabular elements?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @number-crunch,
I have not implemented any specific support for this but it is still possible to achieve.

By passing the keyword argument latex = false, you stop surrounding the elements with $$. From there, you can add formatting using the fmt = keyword. fmt could be just about any function that takes a single input and returns a single output.

If you, for example, want to keep latexification of only numbers, you could do

using Latexify
a = ["hello" "hi"; 1.2 4.1243534e4]
latexify(a; env=:table, latex=false, fmt = x -> x isa Number ? latexify(x) : x)

This could become a bit verbose, but it does give you a lot of freedom.
