Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multiline and underlining

[latexhelp1]

I use the multiline command to stretch code across a set number of lines. The words do not necessarily span the entire set of columns but I want to denote that the columns correspond to the information in the multiline. As such, I use an underline. I would like the underline to stretch the entire duration of the columns being multilined and not just the word at hand. How would I do that?

For example, in the following code, only the words "First Group" and "Second Group" get underlined. However, I would like for both underlines to span the entire 5 columns.

Moreover, I do not want the 2 underlines to connect to each other.

For that last point, would I have to create an extra column in the table? And if so, is there a way to set that column to be of an infinitetesimal length just so the 2 underlinings don't connect?

I very much appreciate all of your help!

A '\multiline' command does either not exist or you forgot to load the corresponding package. Hence your example is not compilable. Fix all errors first and present a proper minimal example where all unnecessary code fragments and superfluous packages are dropped. Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders in this regard will be not necessary any more. *facepalm*

Take 2! I realize that I meant multiCOLUMN. My deepest apologies.

On another note, is it possible for the numbers to align the text such that the numbers in the rows with the *** appears directly over the numbers in the following rows with the () and also aligned with the numbers above with the (1), (2).

That is, is it possible to align the (1) with the 0.139 and the 0.002. Right now, because of the *** the second row is not aligned with regards to the number itself but rather is centered with regards to the number and the ***.

In any event, my original question is about underlining the multicolumn, in this case to underline for 4 full columns in both cases.

Thank you so much for your help.

I just want to check in as to whether this is a minimum working example...

Thank you so much!

Take 2!!

No, it's not. And I'm not going to explain it again. See the red links in my signature. Furthermore you are doing the same mistakes again and again that I already corrected in former threads you opened and you ignore advices given there. I don't feel like it any more.

[latexhelp1]

Take 3?

I am so so so so sorry if I am not understanding the details you gave me in the other thread. I hope you realize that I do not know what you think I am apparently not following, but then the other 99% of help I have incorporated and it has helped me immensly.

You are amazing. I truly cannot thank you enough. I hope you realize how much Latex you have taught me. I am so deeply grateful for your help.

No, it's not.

Is my example still not a minimum working example? The code seems to work on my computer, I think every package I listed is essential for getting the code to work, and I don't think I did any weird coding in the table. If there is any weird coding, howeve, could we please look past it? I am just wondering about how to underline the multicolumn so that the whole multicolumn is underlined. Is this possible to do?

I so very much appreciate your help.

[latexhelp1]

I really hope that the following is a minimum working example.

My question is that I would like to have the terms "Set 1" and "Set 2" be underlined such that the Set 1 underlining spans the 2 columns it is representing and Set 2 the four columns, but that these 2 underlines do not connect. Currently only the words themselves are underlined, and it is not as transparent which columns they are supposed to be in reference to.

I would so very much appreciate your help!!

I would use \cmidrule, such as

Dear Stefan,

Your code works so beautiful. You are such an intelligent, hard-working, and kind moderator. I truly do not know how to thank you enough.

You are infinitely patient with latex novices like myself. You are a true saint. Words cannot express how kind and helpful you are.

I would use \cmidrule, such as

Code: Select all

\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{l*6{C}}
  \toprule
  & (1) & (2) & (3) & (4) & (5) & (6) \\
