Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ tabularx uppercase all

[comandos]

Greetings,

I wish to uppercase/makeuppercase every entry in a tabularx table. Any suggestions? (Beside doing it manually for every entry.)
I tried using the command in the following manner but it didn’t work.

Code: Select all

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth\MakeUppercase\bfseries\large}{l X}
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
  \end{tabularx}

Best regards

I got something to work by defining an environment (using environ) that makes everything inside it uppercase:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{environ}
\begin{document}
\NewEnviron{Uppercase}
    {\MakeUppercase{\BODY}}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\begin{Uppercase}}l<{\end{Uppercase}} X}
    Test 1 & test 2 \\
    Test 3 & test 4 \\
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}

@comandos: even if the tabularx environment would allow stuff like that in its first argument (which it doesn't, it expects a length there), \MakeUppercase expects an argument, Since there are no braces, it would grab the \bfseries command, biut since there's no text...

The easiest way would be to use small caps instead of all uppercase, then you could say

Code: Select all

{\scshape\bfseries\large
\begin{tabularx}[\textwidth}{lX}
%table's contents
\end{tabularx}
}

Then again, small caps may not be available for your font at your used encoding
.
An alternate to kaiserkarl13's example might be the usage of collcell package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{collcell}
\newcommand\tabfmt[1]{\MakeUppercase{\bfseries\large#1}}
\newcolumntype{E}{>{\collectcell\tabfmt}X<{\endcollectcell}}
\begin{document}
  \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{>{\collectcell\tabfmt}l<{\endcollectcell} E}
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
    Test 1 & test 2  \\
  \end{tabularx}
\end{document}

I know I'm doing it wrong but thank you both!
Both examples were helpful.
