long wide table, or how to do sideways longtable works

Post by amitk »

I have a wide long table. The table perfectly matches for sideways, but when the sideways is used, the longtable does not work.
How to solve the problem?

long wide table, or how to do sideways longtable works

You can use the lscape (or pdflscape) package to get a wide and long table spread over several pages.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setlength{\parindent}{0em}
\pagestyle{headings}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument

  \begin{landscape}
  \begin{longtable}{*{8}c}

Headers were turned on to check if the landscape environment works correctly. For tables that fit to the text height, you can try one of the packages ltablex or ltxtable which combine the features of longtable and tabularx.
