I'm doing my bachelor thesis, and need to make a table with lots of data. I want to make a macro for that table, since I'm going to use it a few times.
Considering egreg's answer in this question, and the comments to this question. My question is: How can I make this form with a key-value interface, with the use of 19 arguments?
I have used code from Steven's example, and some from the question I mentioned. Below is a complete working example.
\documentclass[norsk,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{colortbl,tabularx,ifxetex,isodate}
\setlength{\arrayrulewidth}{1pt}
%\setlength{\tabcolsep}{1ex}
\newcolumntype{Y}{|>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize + 2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax}X|}
\newcolumntype{Z}{|>{\hsize=\dimexpr3\hsize+4\tabcolsep+2\arrayrulewidth\relax}X|}
\def\CTRheaderfont{\scriptsize\sffamily}
\def\CTRheaderfontBold{\CTRheaderfont\bfseries}
