Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ too short vertical lines

[theoglad]

Hello,

As you can see on my screenshot, my vertical lines are too short and stop right in the middle of my first line. Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I put my code just below.

Thanks in advance!

Theo

Code: Select all

    \[table] [h!]
    \centering
    \caption [name in the list in tables]{legende}
    \label{tab:inventory}
    \begin{tabular}{@{}l|l|r|r|r|r|r|r@{}}
        \toprule
        \textbf{Post} & \textbf{Equipment} & \textbf{Unit} & \textbf{Common} & \textbf{LLN} & \textbf{Woluwe} & \textbf{Mons} & \textbf{Tournai} & \textbf{St-Gilles} & \textbf{Charleroi} & \textbf{Uncertainty} \\
        \Xhline{2.5pt}
        \multirow{4}{22mm}{test} & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test \
         & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test
         & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test
         & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test
        \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}

Please create a complete minimal working example and use the Code button or the code tags directly.

You use more columns than you defined.

As you can read in the documentation of the booktabs package, it is not recommended to use it together with vertical lines.

I'd like to propose the following changes to you:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[hmargin=2.5cm, showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[singlelinecheck=off, labelfont={color=magenta}]{caption}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}

\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\tablename}{Tab.}}
\AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesection.\arabic{table}.}}

\counterwithin{table}{section}

\begin{document}
\listoftables
\appendix
\section{Section in appendix}
\begin{table}[h!]
    \centering
    \scriptsize
%    \setlength{\cmidrulewidth}{2.5pt}
    \caption[name in the list of tables]{legende}
    \label{tab:inventory}
    \begin{tabular}{ll *9r}
    \toprule
    \textbf{Post} & \textbf{Equipment} & \textbf{Unit} & \textbf{Common} 
    & \textbf{LLN} & \textbf{Woluwe} & \textbf{Mons} & \textbf{Tournai} 
    & \textbf{St-Gilles} & \textbf{Charleroi} & \textbf{Uncertainty} \\
%    \midrule%[2.5pt]
    \cmidrule(lr){1-3}
    \cmidrule(lr){4-11}
    \multirow{4}{*}{test} & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test 
                          & test & test \\
                          & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test 
                          & test & test\\
                          & test & test & test & test & test & test & test & test 
                          & test & test\\

                          & test & test\\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
