Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ The content of the table exceeds the length of the page

[NELLLY]

Hi
I need to put 48 lines at the same table. When I use

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.5cm}
\begin{table}[H]
\begin{center}
\caption{
\begin{tabular}{ccccccc}\hline

Contents

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}

the contents of the table exceeds the length of the page. Is there a solution?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi,

you could use the longtable package, which allows page breaks in tables and provides some useful features for that.

There are further packages for this purpose, such as supertabular, xtab, stabular, ltxtable and ltablex. You can read about that in short in the section Generating multi-page tables in Creating tables with LaTeX.

Hi
I rewrite my table with longtable. But now, the caption of the table takes two lines instead of one and I need the columns to be larger. What can I do?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Perhaps somebody can tell you that if you would post the code of your longtable, of course without real contents - in a compilable example. Who might know how you write captions or columns.

Hi
Below the code

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{ccccccc}
\caption{}\label{ }\\ \hline
~~&1&$2$3&4&5&6\\\hline
\endfirsthead
\multicolumn{7}{c}%
{\tablename\ \thetable\ -- \textit{Continued from previous page}} \\
\hline
 ~~&X&Y&Z&A&B&C$\\
\hline
\endhead
\hline \multicolumn{7}{r}{\textit{Continued on next page}} \\
\endfoot
\hline
\endlastfoot
 
CONTENTS OF THE TABLE
 
\end{longtable}
\end{center}

wish this help.

Hi,

I recommended to post a compilable example. This code

• is not compilable
• does not show the used document class
• does not show page dimensions etc.
• does not show used packages (longtable? caption? multicol? ..) and options

so it's not possible to test and to fix. I guess you will understand that I use my time to solve problems where users provide information. See you in another topic, if it's clear of if there's a complete example.

Hi
Sorry for the incompletness
