Layout to fit tables/images etc

Is there a way to tell LaTeX to fit the page margins to a table? Mainly for producing PDF images to convert to PNG; certain publishing platforms (Kindle) ignore tables.

Vertical arithmetic

Conditional class?

I'm trying to figure out how to write a formatting macro (I know very little latex but... it's a start) that does conditional compilation.

Let's say I have a math book with practice problems.. I'd want something like:


3 \times 2 = \answersheet{6}


Then by setting a compile time switch (or a ...
