cjk tabular page break problem

Post by gosha »

Stupid me! :oops:
Before you read further, I just solved the problem finding out there is a "longtable" package you have to use for multi-pages tables, so the problem is not with cjk. Now you now what Latex will tell you if you write e too long table using "tabular".
Now everything is just fine.
Thank you anyway


Hello everybody!
I'm having a big issue with a file that contains a table with chinese characters. The problem is that Latex doesn't seem to know where to breake the pages, as a result the first page is blank, the second is there but very badly formatted and the rest of the pages are gone.
This is the error that should give the reason, but googling around I could not find a solution:

Code: Select all

Overfull \vbox (1243.87344pt too high) has occurred while \output is active
Here is the preamble:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage{CJKutf8}
\usepackage[overlap, CJK]{ruby}
\usepackage{CJKulem}
\renewcommand{\rubysep}{-0.2ex}
\newenvironment{SChinese}{%
  \CJKfamily{gbsn}%
  \CJKtilde
  \CJKnospace}{}
\begin{document}
\parskip 3ex
\parindent 0pt
\begin{CJK}{UTF8}{}
\begin{SChinese}
\begin{tabular}{llll}
this is the end of the file:

Code: Select all

\end{tabular}
\end{SChinese}
\end{CJK}
\end{document}
If needed, I can send the content, it is no secret, just a small dictionary.
By the way, pasting in a long text and taking away the tabular command, everything works fine, so it seems to be the combination of tabular with chinese to cause the problem.

Really hope someone can help.
Happy women's day to the ladies out there!
