additional key for supertabular

[hvoss49]

With supertabular I can set it in twocolumn mode. There is only a \noalign at the end of the example which must be fixed.

\documentclass[a4paper,landscape,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[margin=1cm,includeheadfoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\usepackage{libertinus-otf}
\usepackage{unicodefonttable}

\begin{document}
	
	\kant[1] 

\tablefirsthead{}
\tablehead{}
\tabletail{\\\hline}
\tablelasttail{\\\hline}

\displayfonttable
		[range-start=00000,range-end=F005F,
		nostatistics,noheader,hex-digits=block,
		supertabular]%%%%  new %%%%%%%%%%%
		{LibertinusSans-Regular.otf}

\kant[2-10]

\end{document}

The code changes ...

Maybe something to think about, but longtable and supertabular require different header/footer handling and that would have to be accounted for as well, so I doubt that this would work well with several of the other keys wthout more adjustments. But anyway, thanks for the idea.

Not sure I will have the bandwidth to look at this seriously any time soon -- ie for me the package is a tool to get some idea what is in a font not something for extremly flexible typesetting (even though I added some flexibility).
