Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Issue with multi-columned Cell

[marie2011]

Dear forum members,

I was wondering if you could help me with this table I cannot compile. The error says:

Code: Select all

ERROR: File ended while scanning use of \multicolumn.

--- TeX said ---
! File ended while scanning use of \multicolumn.
--- HELP ---
No help available

And the minimal example is:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
12pt,%
%  draft,%
  twoside,%
  BCOR10mm,%
%  bibtotocnumbered,% <= obsolete
bib=totoc,        % <= recommended
toc=listof,
toc=bibliography,
numbers=noenddot
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish,ngerman,catalan,english]{babel}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{tablefootnote}

\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{lp{13cm}}
 \caption{Aspect} \label{tab:aspects}  \\
 \hline
\textbf{Número} &\textbf{Comentario} \\ \hline
 \endfirsthead
\caption[]{Aspects} \\\hline
\textbf{Número} &\textbf{Comentario} \\ \hline
\endhead \hline
\multicolumn{2}{r}{{\emph{continuación}}\\ 
\hline
\endfoot
\hline \hline
\endlastfoot
\hline
1. &``Sentence in Spanish''\tablefootnote{(cita original)  ``Sentence
  in English.}.\\
 
\hline
\end{longtable}

\end{document}

The example does not work, since I am having problems. I assume there is a mistake with some elements, but I cannot find it.

Many thanks in advance.

Regards,
Marie

As LaTeX was trying to tell you, you're missing a brace after your multicolumn command (you have two, and need three due to the \emph command).

Hello kaiserkarl13,

Many thanks for your answer.

Here is the minimal working example.

Mi problem now is that the footnote does not appear at the end of the page.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
12pt,%
%  draft,%
  twoside,%
  BCOR10mm,%
%  bibtotocnumbered,% <= obsolete
bib=totoc,        % <= recommended
toc=listof,
toc=bibliography,
numbers=noenddot
]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[spanish,ngerman,catalan,english]{babel}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{tablefootnote}

\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{lp{13cm}}
 \caption{Aspect} \label{tab:aspects}  \\
 \hline
\textbf{Número} &\textbf{Comentario} \\ \hline
 \endfirsthead
\caption[]{Aspects} \\\hline
\textbf{Número} &\textbf{Comentario} \\ \hline
\endhead \hline
\multicolumn{2}{r}{{\emph{continuación}}}\\ 
\hline
\endfoot
\hline \hline
\endlastfoot
\hline
1. &``Sentence in Spanish''\tablefootnote{(cita original)  ``Sentence
  in English''.}.\\
 
\hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

Many thanks in advance.

Hello,

I replaced \tablefootnote for \footnote and everything works fine now.
