What is wrong with this simple tabularx in revtex4 ?

Post by Cham »

I'm experiencing a major error with this simple code (tabularx with a color, under the revtex4 class), and I don't understand what is happening here :

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[11pt]{revtex4}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipsnames,table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\begin{document}

\section{Introduction}

A simple table :
\begin{table}
	\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
	\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|X|X|}
	\hline
		\rowcolor[gray]{0.95}
		\multicolumn{5}{|c|}{\textbf{\textsf{Title}}}
		\\ \hline
		\multicolumn{1}{|>{\centering}p{6.5em}|}{\textsf{word 1}}
		& \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering}p{6.5em}|}{\textsf{word 2}}
		& \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering}p{6.5em}|}{\textsf{word 3}}
		& \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering}p{6.5em}|}{\textsf{word 4}}
		& \multicolumn{1}{>{\centering}p{6.5em}|}{\textsf{word 5}}
		\\ \hline
		 & & & &
		\\
		 & & & &
		\\
		 & & & &
		\\ \hline
	\end{tabularx}
\end{table}

\end{document}
The same tabularx is working great with all the other classes I tested (article, book, etc). So what is wrong with this code ?

Hi Cham,

again, you made a fantastic minimal example, so it's easy to work with it.

That's an issue with revtex4 that I consider as a bug. It is fixed with revtex4-1. Is that ok for you, or would you like to fix it with revtex4?
