This Dashboard widget is capable of converting a text into a LaTeX table, providing a pleasant experience.
TeXTtoTABLE is an excellent Dashboard widget that is specifically designed to offer swift conversion of a tab-separated ASCII text file or Clipboard content into a LaTex table. With this tool, a user can quickly convert any form of ASCII text data into a LaTeX table, which is easy to edit and format.
This Dashboard widget saves the converted table as inputfilename_ttt.tex, thereby overwriting the file if it already exists. An essential feature of TeXTtoTABLE is that it recognizes the horizontal and double horizontal lines in the converted text file.

One of the standout features of this software is the flexibility it provides in multicolumn specification. The "@" character is used in specifying multicolumns, and the user can easily edit this to a preferred alternative. For example, an item "@3hoge@" is converted to "multicolumn{3}{l}{hoge}" with ease.
In conclusion, TeXTtoTABLE is an effective Dashboard widget that facilitates the conversion of text files into editable and neat LaTeX tables. Its ability to recognize horizontal lines and provide flexibility in multicolumn specification makes it worth recommending to anyone in need of such a tool.
