LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Suppress page break before table

[dadrivr]

I have a large, horizontal table that spans multiple pages. LaTeX puts a page break before the table, but I don't want a page break. I want the text to fill the page before the table. I've tried \nopagebreak, but it doesn't work. How can I not allow a page break before the table and fill the page preceding the table with text? Here is a small example:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
 
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{threeparttablex}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{tabu}
 
\begin{document}
 
I do not want a page break here
\nopagebreak
 
\begin{landscape}
   \begin{ThreePartTable}
     \begin{longtabu}{X[l] X[l] X[l]} \hline 
     Column1 & Column2 & Column3   
     \end{longtabu}
   \end{ThreePartTable}
\end{landscape}
 
I want this text to go before the table
 
\end{document}

Hi!

The {landscape} environment will always add a page break. You can have sideways content in a portrait page using the rotating package. In that case, however, the table is not automatically broken at the margins. See example below.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext, rotating}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{tabu}
\begin{document}
I do not want a page break here
 
\begin{sideways}
   \begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
     \begin{longtabu}{X[l] X[l] X[l]} \hline
       \blindtext&\blindtext&\blindtext\\
     \end{longtabu}
   \end{minipage}
\end{sideways}
 
I want this text to go before the table
\end{document}
