I think having Latex output there could be just as useful as for models

Could it even be a design goal for gretl to make all tabular output
available in latex format?
It would be nice, yes. But It's quite tedious getting LaTeX output
just right for gretl constructions. And to an extent I've been
hampered by the self-imposed requirement that if we provide a
LaTeX option we should also provide an RTF option, for people on
Windows who want to paste into Word. Perhaps I should let that go?

I am sorry about not having developed the RTF modules, but I still intend
to.
Seems that now I have more pressure to do that ;).

In the case of the ADF output (which BTW is relevant only if option
"show detailed regression output" is chosen) copying in RTF is already
there it seems. -- Well actually testing this on Linux with OpenOffice
doesn't really work; right now I cannot test on Windows and/or MSOffice.
Don't know about the other potential cases.
Apart from that I absolutely understand that doing tables in Latex is a
most annoying thing. That's why it would be welcome if gretl did it
instead of the user :-)
Maybe the way to go forward would be to use a different table format
altogether, say HTML? It's open, it's platform-independent, and since
the world is moving in the direction of web technologies, there are lots
of tools for that. Just a thought.

With respect to this subject, a solution could be to have a generic
'tableprint' command that based on a table estructure (a matrix +
column and/or row names), produce rtf or latex output. Something similar
to what we already have for models (modprint).
I remember some time I have been looking for something similar to that
in the gretl command reference and thought 'tabprint' could do that, but
found that it serves for another very different thing, to print the las
estimated model in tabular form.
