"one of these days" I will make an array-package-compatible version. If you don't have vertical lines it is easy -- just set \lineskip back again! That's booktabs.sty. Yes, this is one of the many features of table formatting that must be put in LaTex3. >2) Sometimes it happens that one wants some mathematical material >to be ``displayed'', but this material has to be aligned >horizontally.
