tabularray? #100
Description
I've been using tabularray recently https://ctan.org/pkg/tabularray - it seems to have a cleaner structure for managing complex tables, especially merged cells (row and col) and cell colours.

Thank you for the suggestion. We had a look in it and it has truly a cleaner syntax and offers some interesting features. However, it's always a big effort to include another table model, even if the syntax resembles those of standard latex tables. So I would suggest to wait since someone pays for this feature or I decide to implement this in the rare case I have not much to do. Therefore, I would leave this issue open and flag it as feature.
Just as a side note, our @LupinoTech developed a new TeX table package called htmltabs. You can already create it with docx2tex with the
-tparameter. We'll publish the package soon here.LupinoTech commentedon May 28, 2026
Please note that the tabularry package is no longer maintained as of November 2025.

will htmltabs be published to ctan any time soon?
LupinoTech commentedon May 28, 2026
"soon" does some heavy lifting, but yes, the publication of the htmltabs package on CTAN is indeed planned, as is integration into the texlive canon.

Let me know if I can help - I've published to ctan before
baradhili commentedon May 28, 2026
btw now under new maintainers.. https://github.com/TeXackers/tabularray

Thanks, i'll keep that in mind. Uploading the thing to CTAN is less the problem, but before that, the package needs some proper documentation and its source code a thorough cleanup, so it may still take a while.

BTW, the
htmltabs.styfile itself is for some time now integrated into the CoCoTeX framework, to technically, it already is public.
