[PLUG] Latex column headings and tables...

[Brian Diggs]

I think the column description you want is 'p' (instead of 'l', 'r', or 
'c').  It creates the column element as a parbox of a width specified as 
an argument.  The parbox implies that the contacts will be wrapped.  I 
don't have my LaTeX referenece in front of me right now, so I can't give 
you the exact syntax.  If you want this different than the other rows, 
you can of course put in in a \multicolumn to change the format 
specification for that row.
