Extracting table format within AUCTeX

Hi all,
I read that AUCTeX can retrieve the current environment
(LaTeX-current-environment). If I'm currently within a
tabular-environment, is there some function that retrieves the format
(for example: c|cc|l) of the tabular?
Regards,

C-j for tabular environments

I added some lines to latex.el to acchieve automatic insertion of
separator lines within tabular environments similar to automatic
insertion of \item within description or itemize environments.

The diff is below (sorry, I'm no expert in creating diffs/patches, so I
used Emacs' diff-backup).

Feature request: RefTeX, access the "file" BibTeX field for use with org-mode

Hi,

Would somebody please consider changing (at least) reftex-format-citation to
allow access to the "file = {}" field in a BibTeX file?

This would be useful for improving co-usage of two very apps: Zotero and emacs
org-mode, towards the goal of bibliography management.

Currently it is possible to export a bib file and attached (pdf) files from
Zotero, with the "file" field including a relative path to the actual (pdf) file:

  file = {npont.pdf:files/5/npont.pdf:application/pdf}

This could be used for inserting a heading and link to the file in an org-mode
document, containing notes on a collection of papers:

(reftex-set-cite-format
	  '((?h . "** %t\n:PROPERTIES:\n:Custom_ID: %l\n:END:\n[[papers:%z][%l]]")))
((unload-feature 'reftex-cite )

I think this could be as easy as changing reftex-format-citation to include:

 ;; zotero path to the (pdf) file
 ((= l ?z) (reftex-get-bib-field "file" entry))

...plus extracting the path from the field.

An almost identical request, from a slightly different angle, was made in
September 2011 but it appears to have fizzled out inconclusively:

[PATCH] Re: Feature request: RefTeX, access the "file" BibTeX field for use with org-mode

Allow access to the 'file' field, and split it to give the relative path (for
zotero).

diff --git a/lisp/reftex-cite.el b/lisp/reftex-cite.el

                           (reftex-get-bib-field "title" entry)))
                ((= l ?v) (reftex-get-bib-field "volume" entry))

-
+               ((= l ?y) (reftex-get-bib-field "year" entry))
+	       ;; zotero path to the (pdf) file
+               ((= l ?z) (nth 1 (split-string
+				 (reftex-get-bib-field "file" entry) ":"))))))
       (if (string= rpl "")
           (setq b (match-beginning 2) e (match-end 2))
         (setq b (match-beginning 3) e (match-end 3)))

Missing symbols in latex.el

There appears to be missing the symbols from section 5.2 and 5.4 from
the manual (texdoc latex2e) in latex.el.  Is there a good reason for
leaving them out?
