Thanks for the reply.

That works exactly as I wanted it, but I could have sworn I'd already tried that.

Anywho, it works.

Thank you very much.

Hello :)

Is it possible to put visible frames or boxes around subsections? I've experimented with \framebox, \frame and \makebox, but can only get visible boxes around words or sentences.

What I'm after is seperating subsections with frames or boxes that span the document from left margin to ...

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{llllll}
\cline{1-6} % hor. line from column 1 to 6 (same as an \hline)
column1a & column2a & column3a & column4a & column5a & column6a \\
\cline{1-1}\cline{3-5} % hor. lines: at column one and from column 3 to 5
column1b & column2b ...

Thanks for the reply. :)

I've tweaked your coding a little bit, using frabjous' help from before, and now I've got exactly what I wanted.

Thank you very much. My document is looking great now. :)

Out of curiosity, how exactly does the \cline bit work? I tried experimenting with it, but still can ...

Well, I've had a go and not got very far.

I'm trying to create a table similar to before. I'd try describing it, but I've done an example on Excel to make things clearer.



Is this even possible in LaTeX?

I have to confess that tables in LaTeX are one thing that I wish were more straightforward. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

There are a number of ways, and again, it's not as obvious as it probably should be. You can enter a length after \\ just like you were doing already ...

I've gone through the information for siunitx loads of times, and I don't remember seeing that. :?

I tried a combination (version 1), but whichever option goes second isn't recognised.

If "mathit" is second, it isn't recognised (ie: error message). "mathit" on it's own works. The same applies ...

I was just wondering if anyone had an idea on how to do this.

Wow! Thanks for the replies. :o

Both of those are brilliant. They're exactly what I was after.

I did look at the Wikibook for this, but I really didn't understand what was going on with those commands that set the table parameters. I'm still not too sure, but I can use the table you've done for ...

Hello

I'm having a bit of trouble with a couple of things, and was hoping to get some help.

1. Here I'm trying to align three pairs of lines.


\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}

\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage{MnSymbol}

\sisetup{unitmathrm ...
