[Gnumed-devel] Placeholders for medications

[Busser, Jim]

The attached PDF suggests a possible improvement and a possible bug (relative 
to LaTex).

The output of the placeholder

        $<current_meds_table::latex>$

which generates the top item (the table) has some nice elements, for example in 
the left column, a two-line structure with the brand name in the top line and 
the strength in the bottom line. The regimen is also informative.
        
The table is missing, however, the generic or INN name of the substance. The 
bottom row contains something that I invented for Kirk, Imaginol, which has 4 
components and these are hinted at. But nowhere can one see in this table the 
components and it is not a good practice to fail to include the components.

Can we achieve this by inserting, into the placeholder, the names of the 
components ? We could include the strengths (it seems to me that there exists 
sufficient page width) skip to repeat the strengths, since these are given 
already in the left column (as, for example, for Imaginol) provided the 
components would be in the same order as the strengths were concatenated.
--> an enhancement request

I do notice, in the column 'regimen', a string of text which I had entered as 
the Advice under one of the components of Imaginol however there is a failure 
to include (to concatenate) the advice which I had entered and saved under one 
of the other components. Maybe only the Advice for the first component gets 
shown?
--> a bug?

Under the lower placeholder

        $<current_meds_notes::latex>$

can be seen

        | X |l| X | p7.5cm |

which looks like it is not being correctly processed and therefore not giving 
rise to a table. Is there a syntax error therein?
