Hello!

Once in a while I need a radiotable inside my LaTeX file and I'm asking to 
implement a parameter for the use of booktabs.

This is an example I picked from the manual of orgmode and added
\verb|\toprule|, \verb|\bottomrule|, :booktabs t and some other details.

This is the tabular in \LaTeX:

     \begin{tabular}{lrrr}\toprule
     Month & \multicolumn{1}{c}{Days} & Nr.\ sold & per day\\\midrule
     % BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
Jan & 23 & 55 & 2.4 \\
Feb & 21 & 16 & 0.8 \\
March & 22 & 278 & 12.6 \\
\hline
S: & 66 &  &  \\
     % END RECEIVE ORGTBL salesfigures
	\bottomrule
     \end{tabular}

And here comes the source:
     
\begin{verbatim}
     #+ORGTBL: SEND salesfigures orgtbl-to-latex :splice t :skip 2 :booktabs t
     | Month | Days | Nr sold | per day |
     |-------+------+---------+---------|
     | Jan   |   23 |      55 |     2.4 |
     | Feb   |   21 |      16 |     0.8 |
     | March |   22 |     278 |    12.6 |
     |-------+------+---------+---------|
     | S:    |   66 |         |         |
     #+TBLFM: $4=$3/$2;%.1f::@5$2=vsum(@I..II)
     
\end{verbatim}

The parameter ":booktabs t" would be new. 

To what end? You see, my table uses the booktabs package and I can, as
displayed above, use \verb|\toprule| and \verb|\bottomrule| in the "spliced"
tabular. But inside the tabular, all horizontal lines become
"hline"(s), which is, well, not ugly, but disturbing. Instead of each
hline a midrule is needed.

You can take this email and compile it with pdflatex. You'll see, that
some space is missing between the ``S:'' and the hline.

So would it be possible to implement the parameter ":booktabs t"
without much trouble?

Kind regards,

Alexander
