The historical custom XML/Python table feature is deprecated. Existing
<tablefill-python> and legacy <tablefill-custom> blocks still run for now,
but StableFill emits a deprecation warning when they are used.
This feature can evaluate Python code from template or XML files. That made it powerful for custom derived tables, but it is hard to debug and risky when templates are shared or generated by other tools.
For new projects, prefer explicit result files, inline values, input
directories, and stablefill.toml configuration. Future StableFill versions
may add a safer derived-values system for common computed statistics.
To keep old projects working, custom XML/Python still runs by default. Use
--ignore-xml to skip it:
stablefill --ignore-xml -i results.txt -o paper_filled.tex paper_template.tex
