Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Landscaped long Tables

[Nikolaj]

Dear colleagues,

My name is Nikolaj Serikoff, am the Asian collections Librarian with the Wellcome Library / London. I am writing to you as a Latex fan. Can you, possibly, help me? I am trying to have a long table in a landscape and just cannot. What am I supposed to do?

My file (multigraphics and multilingual) starts as follows:

Code: Select all

\centerline{Tabl. glagolov} \par \vspace{1cm}
{\centering

%\begin{landscape}

\begin{longtable}{|c|l|l|l|c|l|l}
  \hline
  % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
\eng{No.} & sir. & grech & ar./sir. & \eng{TS} & \BBH{} %& Lic. & Chis. & Zal. &
\\
\hline \hline
1  & \syr{'g'l|-ly's'wmh} & \eng{\greek{>agalli'asomai}} & \setarab\ar{afr.h}   & 21 & 22.9 BSr   \\%&          \eng{FutIndAct1pSg} &  & \eng{1p}  & \eng{Sg}& \greek{>agalli'aomai} \ar{fr.h}\\
2  & \syr{'g'l|-ly'sth} & \eng{\greek{>agalli'asje}} &  \setarab\ar{afr.hwA}   & 21  & 22.11 BSr   \\%&           \eng{FutIndAct2pPl} &     & \eng{2p}  & \eng{Pl}&  \greek{>agalli'azomai} \ar{fr.h}\\
3  & \syr{'g'twnytys'_ty} & \eng{\greek{>agajwnij'isate}} & \setarab\ar{mn al-n`mT w-al-_hyr}& 22 & \\%& \eng{AorIndAct2pPl} &      & \eng{2p}  & \eng{Pl}& \greek{>agajwn'izw}  \ar{mn al-n`mT w-al-_hyr} \\

Yours cordially,

Hi Nikolaj,

welcome to the board!

It works if I put a longtable environment into a landscape environment. The package lscape or pdflscape is required.

A basic structure:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{longtable} 
\usepackage{lscape} % or pdflscape 
...
\begin{landscape}
  \begin{longtable}{...}
    ...
    \endfirsthead
    ...
    \endhead
    \caption{text}\label{...} 
    \endfoot
    \caption{text}\label{...} 
    \endlastfoot
    ...
  \end{longtable}
\end{landscape}

Perhaps show us what you are doing and we would try to fix the problem. The best would be posting a minimal working example.

Stefan
