Hi Andrew,
        I decided to try your package. I am unable to install it using 
octave 6, since I am running in-place it complains that I have an incomplete 
octave installation since:

error: pkg: unable to find the mkoctfile command, Octave installation is 
incomplete
error: called from
    __gripe_missing_component__ at line 60 column 3
    configure_make at line 50 column 7
    install at line 196 column 7
    pkg at line 505 column 9

If I install it using octave 5(.1.0) it works yet trying to load it from 
octave 6 says:

>> pkg load tablicious
error: '__octave_link_register_doc__' undefined near line 35, column 35
error: called from
    /home/jamatos/.local/share/octave/tablicious-0.3.0/PKG_ADD at line 35 
column 3
    load_packages_and_dependencies at line 56 column 5
    load_packages at line 53 column 3
    pkg at line 525 column 7

Is this to be expected?


FWIW I am running Fedora (Linux) 31.

Thank you for the nice work you have been doing. Best regards,
