[man2011]

Hi guys,

once again. I am using maktex 2010 on my Imac. the previos one was on my windows and I used the tabular package unfortunataly I lost this package i do not have it anymore.. what i thought is that this package may be installed but the problem is with my codes.. please guys I need this package I fail to find it online... and I want to make sure that the template I made for a table is correct. below is sample.tex .... can you help with this??

please see the reply below where you can see the codes

[man2011]

the sample.tex above is not the one I intended to paste it here. because the above one lacks this code:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{tabular}

so here is the one I want you to ckeck and help me with it

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tabular}
\begin{document}

\section*{Abstract}
Gapping in Hijazi Arabic (HA) illustrated in (1) is breifly a coordinate structure wherein the initial conjuct is syntacticaly complete, and the non-intial conjunct is incomplete. Therefore, the non-initial conjuncts share some material(s) which are overtly spelt-out in the initial conjunct. 

\begin{tabular}[t]{r|c|c|c|}
\cline{2-4}
      & /qi/  & qi    & qi         \\
\LCC 
      &       &       & \lightgray \\ \cline{2-4}
\hand & [qi]  &       & *          \\ \cline{2-4}
      & [*qi] & *!    &            \\ \cline{2-4}
\ECC
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

I've never heard of a package called "tabular", and there is nothing on CTAN with that name.

However, your sample code seems to be stolen from this webpage, and uses the obsolete colortab package, and a command \hand, which is to be defined using the pifont package. Try something like this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{colortab}
\usepackage{pifont}
\newcommand{\hand}{\ding{43}}
\begin{document}

\section*{Abstract}
Gapping in Hijazi Arabic (HA) illustrated in (1) is breifly a coordinate structure wherein the initial conjuct is syntacticaly complete, and the non-intial conjunct is incomplete. Therefore, the non-initial conjuncts share some material(s) which are overtly spelt-out in the initial conjunct.

\begin{tabular}[t]{r|c|c|c|}
\cline{2-4}
      & /qi/  & qi    & qi         \\
\LCC
      &       &       & \lightgray \\ \cline{2-4}
\hand & [qi]  &       & *          \\ \cline{2-4}
      & [*qi] & *!    &            \\ \cline{2-4}
\ECC
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

Personally, to make this work, I had to copy the file colortab.tex into my current working directory so that LaTeX would find it, but I'm not really sure why.

thank you. it is working now..

The problem is that the correct package is "tabularx", not "tabular":-)

No, there is nothing in the code posted that involves tabularx, and the problem has already been solved.
