Automatic numbering of cells in a table

Post by evlabiba »

Hello everybody,

How can I generate an automatic numbering of the first column cells in a table?
Writing them 'by hand' is a non sense. I've done it but I swear not to do it ever again!

Thanks.

Automatic numbering of cells in a table

Post by phi »

Hello,
here is one possibility, using a custom counter:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\newcounter{TableRow}
\newcolumntype{n}{>{\stepcounter{TableRow}\arabic{TableRow}}c}
\begin{document}
\setcounter{TableRow}{0}
\begin{tabular}{nl}
& Text \\
& Text \\
& Text
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

The "n" column then gets a automatic numbering.
