Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table Error

[armo97]

Hello everybody.

I have generated the table below in tablesgenerator.com so I'm sure the code is right. When I run it in Latex, I get an error "undefined control sequence" and cline-s are marked red. I added \usepackage{booktabs}\let\cline\cmidrule which somehow solved the problem but now there are gaps between the lines. Anyone knows how I can solve the issue?

Hi,

You can test it by clicking "Run LaTeX here".

Perhaps post your .log file with the error here, as attachment.

You're right, it runs here normally. But in my code it does not, the clines are not drawn. This is the full code.

Now I see that you are using the sn-jnl document class. This class redefines \cline itself and expects you to load the booktabs package. It discourages using vertical lines in tables. If you use that class because it's required for publishing, I recommend following the style and using only horizontal lines with booktabs.

You can get \cline back with a small hack at the beginning:

Code: Select all

\let\clineorig\cline
\documentclass[pdflatex,sn-mathphys-num]{sn-jnl}% Math and Physical Sciences Numbered Reference Style 
\let\cline\clineorig
