Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table spanning multiple pages in landscape, caption not showing up

[DuncanWilliam]

Hi all,

I have a table that spans over multiple pages in the landscape environment. The caption shows up but isn't linked to the list of table nor does it assign a table number. Below is the code.

Code: Select all

\begin{landscape}

\centering
\caption{Subject matter experts and their expertise.}
\begin{longtable}[t]{ l  p{4cm}  p{4cm}  p{10cm} }
\toprule
ID & Organisation & Area of expertise & Justification of expertise \\
\midrule
\endhead

... & ... & ... & ... \\

\bottomrule
\end{longtable}
\label{tab:SME1}
\end{landscape}

Ive tried to use the sidewaystable package but cant get it to continue on the next page. Am I using the correct packages and am I using them correctly?

The documentation of the longtable package explains, where the \caption command should be and which optional arguments may be passed to the environment.

After reading the second note you'll also understand, why you can omit the \centering command.

Depending on your margin settings (which a minimal working example could have shown us), the xltabular package could be useful for you.
