Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Long tabular without table environment

[davidec]

Dear all,

I would like to create a long "tabular" list which stretches over multiple pages.

The natural solution to it would be to use "longtable", "supertabular", "xtab" or the likes. The issue is that, as I understand it, each one of these environments is equivalent to "tabular" and "table" together, i.e. they give a number to the table and so on. Specifically: normally for a small table I would do:

Code: Select all

 \begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{rcc}
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

whereas for a long table the following is enough:

Code: Select all

 \begin{longtable}{rcc}
\end{longtable}

This time, however, I would like a long table, but without the table environment around it. Just a very, very long tabular environment, in fact. I don't want it to be numbered as a table, but rather to go directly into the text. Is there any way to achieve this with "longtable", "supertabular", or "xtab", or is there another solution?

Just use longtable etc. and don't give it a \caption.

By using longtable the table counter will be incremented anyway -- if this is undesired use the longtable* environment offered by the ltcaption package instead. (ltcaption is part of the caption package bundle.)

Wonderful, thank you very much, Sommerfee!

I suspected there would be something like a tabular*-environment, but I would not have guessed that you need the ltcaption package.
