Creating tables in LaTeX is a hard task. Creating complex tables is an even harder one. This project consists in a free, open source, web-based, WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) table editor for LaTeX. It will aim to support most features used in tables and management of packages (including incompatibilities and the possibility to blacklist some of them). A standalone open source JavaScript library will be released in the process to manipulate complex tables.

I'm a well experimented JavaScript programmer and a proud user of LaTeX. I already combined both in a smaller project. The development of this LaTeX tables editor is already started. However, the support from the community will allow me to work full time on this and release it sooner. The money will be used to pay for icons, a server, my rent and food while development is on the way.

Here are some packages from which features will be supported : array, arydshln, booktabs, colortbl, ctable, diagbox, dcolumn, hhline, longtable, lscape, makecell, multirow, rotating, slashbox, supertabular, tabularx, xcolor and more.

Thank you for your contribution and your support for Open Source projects !

Images show the editor at the current stage of development. More features and a (much) better look are on the way.
