Take the 2-minute tour ×  I'm a LaTeX beginner. Up until now
whenever I've created a table (using the tabular environment)
LaTeX floats it in its own paragraph, between my lines of text.
However, I want a way to embed a small table within a paragraph
(to the left or right), having the text flow around it. Is there
a simple way to do this without having to exert too much manual
control over the formatting?  share|improve this question Not a

is a scripting language. You can compare it with PHP, but the
output is not a webpage but a PDF page. –  Pindatjuh Mar 6 '10

is 50% of the width for text. It will wrap to the "outer" % of
the current page, and thus if you have double-sided print, it'll
still look % good. % The centering will look nice (else it's
left-aligned, which isn't nice) % Having your own tabular here.
