Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Longtable hide column

[fhrttn]

With the longtable package how can hide a column, I used H and it gave me error. Also I want to ask about longtable caption, It appears in all pages that the table exist on. How can I change it e.g "Table 1 Continued" in the pages after the first page. Thanks in advance


Here is the sample

% header and footer information

\hline
\endhead
\hline
\endfoot

These are two questions (and it is almost ever better to ask two questions if you have two questions instead of mixing two questions into one).

The answer to the second one is: Read \endfirsthead in the longtable manual.

Question to the first question: Can you show us a minimal working example example, that also give us information about the definition of the (usually unknown) column type H?

I guess that's just it---an H column is not specified.
If I had to create one, I'd do s.th. like

then again, I wouldn't put a column into my table I don't intend to use...

Hiding column with H is worked. I will read the manual of longtable for the second question.

Come to think of it,

Code: Select all

1
\newcolumntype{H}{>{\iffalse}c<{\fi}@{}}

would be even easier.
