Is there a package out there that helps writing LaTeX tables (`tabular`) from matrices and a bit of metadata? [This method](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/bea2fb7fd72060a8db888a82dc8d323a0f0d2538/base/markdown/GitHub/table.jl#L153-L168) from `Base.Markdown` is almost there, but I need some rules etc. This would be trivial to write and package up, I just would rather avoid it. I don’t need something as high-level as `RegressionTables.jl`, want to assemble the output myself.

I have used [LatexPrint](https://github.com/scheinerman/LatexPrint.jl) before with some success. I found it to be lacking for anything beyond basic tables though. So I used its definitions but wrote a more fully-featured version of its `tabular` function that I called `fulltabular`. I’ve put it in a gist [here](https://gist.github.com/tbeason/da57e46da3656b93773716cba6e66e02)

I ended up rolling my own

Looks great! I’ll have to check it out.
