I've been messing around with this a bit. Attached you'll find an 
updated tex.ddoc. Tables are now actually tables (not just a giant blob 
of text :)), and section headers are now properly in \section and 
\subsection.
The table handling is far from perfect, though; columns are hard-coded 
to a maximum of 3 colums, each 5cm wide.

Does anyone know how to get HTML-like auto-wrapping cells in latex, 
without having to explicitly specify their width? Or is this not possible?

By the way, there's a missing '$' in the ulong row of the table at the 
top of type.d.

Well, it might be handy to have a way to repeat a character N times, 
with N given by a macro parameter.
Then the table macro could accept a number-of-columns argument, 
generalizing it to any number of columns.
