General ⇒ latex not showing table

[tinez]

Greetings!

I have a problem with making a table. I use the array package in my document. When I define a table like this:

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{caption}
\label{label}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|}
....

it's not included in .dvi file. It's there only if I make first column l, r or c but the text inside is too long and it needs to be wrapped. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Hi tinez,

welcome to the board!
There's nothing wrong with this code. If I complete it to make it compilable it's working fine for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{caption}
\label{label}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|}
x & y \\
1 & 2
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Perhaps try this too in order to find out if it's working on your side or not. Or post a minimal working example showing the problem.

You haven't included array package. Could You try that out?

Ok I tried to make dvi from that example and it did actually work, even with array package included. The original document has 70 pages and it's split into 7 files. Anyone wan't to take a try looking at it?
