@Abstract {
This report describes the use of Tab, a package of definitions for
producing tables with the Lout document formatter:
@Display @Tab
   hmargin { 0.4c }
   vmargin { 0.3v }
   side { single }
   @Fmta { @Col @B @CC X @Over A,B,C }
   @Fmtb { @Col @I A ! @Col B !! @Col C }
{
@Rowa
   above { single }
   X { Value of mathematical formulae (millions of dollars) }
@Rowb
   above { double }
   A { Quadratic formula }
   B { @Eq { x ^= { minus b +- sqrt { b sup 2 - 4ac } } over 2a } }
   C { 3^.5 }
@Rowb
   below { single }
   A { Binomial theorem }
   B { @Eq { ( a + b ) sup n ^= big sum from k=0 to infty 
matrix atleft { ( } atright { ) } { n above k } a sup k b sup n-k
} }
   C { 12^ }
}
A wide variety of styles for columns and individual entries is provided,
and entries may contain equations, figures, and other objects without
restriction.
