Thanks Dr. Chip,

your plugin does format the latex tables very well. The reason I asked
the question initially is that
I have previously selected the text in a file with ggvG and then used
the Q key (I think is mapped to gq)
and if I do this the tables look really bad, and I was wondering if
any tool with do a better job of formatting the
text including the latex tables.

Thanks again,

Jorge
