Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tabulary break across pages

[ogtifs]

I am trying to create a table that will be longer than one page, with a fixed number of columns whose width is optimal based on the content (the width of which is unknown) - similar to an HTML table. I understand there exists ltxtable which is a combination of tabularx and longtable, but I'm really looking for column specifiers closer to tabulary's LCRJ rather than tabularx's X column type. Any suggestion as how to achieve this? Am I approaching it the right way?

I'm currently trying to modify ltxtable.sty to tamper with longtable and tabulary instead of longtable and tabularx. Unfortunately tabularx.sty bears little resemblance to tabulary.sty and I'm well out of my depth. The last thing I want to do is to have to generate HTML instead and create a PDF from a web browser - things aren't looking good though so may have to look into alternatives to LaTeX for this particular problem
