[Gretl-users] TeX export issues

[Talha Yalta]

I have been using the TeX export functionality of gretl, which is very
useful. I also noticed some problems. I don't know if these are bugs
but I wanted to report nonetheless:

1- In the TeX file of the model tables I see the "\footnotesize{}"
command before each item in each cell, which makes the table difficult
to read and touch up in LaTeX. Wouldn't it be better if there was
\begin{footnotesize} and \end{footnotesize} at the beginning and the
end of the table?

2- In some cells I have "$\,\,$" or $\,$. I am not sure what these are
for (I just erease these).

3- Instead of the "$-$0.7971$^{**}$" format, wouldn't it be better for
all the cells containing numbers to just be in the formula mode such
as $-0.7971^{**}$  ?

4- After experimenting a little bit, I now see that 6 models is what
can be fit in a portrait page. Still, could you please make it 8 or
even 12? I know 6 will be enough for most purposes however:
a)- there might be need for more than 6 in some cases (right now I need 8)
b)- Even though more than 6 is difficult to fit in a portrait page, it
is possible to choose a landscpe page later (would be even better if
there was an option for this in TeX export options).
c)- Again the TeX code can be tweaked later so that the table is in
footnotesize or scriptsize and it fits in a portrait page even.

5- Request: I don't know how difficult this is to implement but
exporting a table in a way where all &'s are vertically alligned would
make it easier to read and edit in TeX later. Example:
Debt / wealth ratio           &   0&015      &   0&023     &  -0&000    \\
                                            &  (2&490)** &  (5&273)**&
 (-0&028) \\
Dummy if head is white &   0&461      &  -0&450     &  0&057     \\
                                            & (-2&424)**& (-3&313)**&
(0&208)  \\

Cheers
