Post by fbarzi »

Could somebody help me in figure out what is not working in this code?
Does multicolumn works in tabularx context?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{amsart}
\usepackage{tabularx}
..
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{cXcX} 
\toprule
 \multicolumn{2}{c}{Scelta A1: Mercato del Lavoro}
 &\multicolumn{2}{c}{Scelta B1: Studio a tempo pieno con Borsa di Studio}
 \\ \hline
\Box1 & 100 Euro &\Box2 & 300 Euro \\
\Box1 & 100 Euro &\Box2 & 600 Euro \\

tabularx and multicolumn

Hi,

multicolumn works for me with tabularx, also with code like that posted by you. Perhaps provide a complete minimal working example, the code above is not testable.
Btw. I wouldn't use \begin{center} ... \end{center} inside a table or figure environment, I would prefer \centering, see center vs. \centering.
