LyX ⇒ tables centring when using numbered list

[john12]

I have a table on my numbered lists but the number is appearing in the middle, I want it to be at the top like normal. This is what it looks like when using tables.

I've attached a picture, I want the number 6 to be the top no the middle.

How can I achieve this? I've googled and googled.

Thanks

Hi John,

welcome to the board!

There's an optional alignment argument for tabular environments. For top alignment use [t]:

Code: Select all

\item \begin{tabular}[t]{...}

Thank you but this how do I implement this?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

You can implement it like I wrote. Or how is your code now? Perhaps show the code of your numbered list with the table if you would like to see how to adjust your code.

Code: Select all

% Preview source code for paragraph 9

\begin{enumerate}
\item %
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline 
 & \tabularnewline
\hline 
\hline 
 & \tabularnewline
\hline 
 & \tabularnewline
\hline 
 & \tabularnewline
\hline 
\end{tabular}\end{enumerate}

I don't know how I can manually edit the source code to include that piece of code as well
thanks.

How do I insert the code into the lyx is what I'm currently stuck on. Thanks

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Ah, it's LyX ... I don't have it installed. Perhaps something like right clicking on the table, opening tabular settings and looking for a top alignment option.

I still can't seem to fix this.

Anyone got a solution please.

Just for information to other users to be aware of possibly already existing solutions. The question has also been posted to the {TeX} SE.

Werner posted a screenshot on the other (above linked site), which shows what I meant above with tabular settings and vertical top alignment:
