Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ ctable error

[merve]

Hi,
I need footnotes for my tables so I decided to use the ctable package but I can't even run the example I copied from the web.This is the error I get. I think ctable is not compatible with caption but I dont even use caption package...

! LaTeX Error: Option clash for package caption.

See the LaTeX m(./ctable.aux)
(/usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/supp-pdf.tex
[Loading MPS to PDF converter (version 2006.09.02).]
)

Package caption Warning: \caption will not be redefined since it's already
(caption) redefined by a document class or package which is
(caption) unknown to the caption package.
See the caption package documentation for explanation.

Runaway argument?
{ caption = {Example with a specified width of 100mm}, label = width,\ETC.

I could not find out what is the problem and would appreciate any help. Here is my code

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx, fullpage, amsmath, amsfonts, latexsym, amsthm, amssymb, ctable}

\usepackage[compatibility=true]{caption} 

%\usepackage[margin=1.25in]{geometry}
%\usepackage{graphicx,ctable,booktabs}


%\usepackage{setspace} bu neymis ogren

%you can reference this table with \ref{demos1}

\begin{document}
\title{}
\author{}
\date{}
\maketitle



\ctable[ caption = {Example with a specified width of 100mm},
                label = width,
                width= 100mm,
                 pos =h,
                 left
                 
]{c>{\raggedright}Xc>{\raggedright}X}{ \tnote{footnotes are placed under the table}

The width of this column depends table.\tmark &

Hi

simply delete some superfluous blank lines from your code (I also delete some lines not relevant to this particular example; don't forget those lines in your actual code):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx, fullpage, amsmath, amsfonts, latexsym, amsthm, amssymb, ctable}

\usepackage[compatibility=true]{caption} 

\begin{document}

\ctable[
  caption = {Example with a specified width of 100mm},
  label = width,
  width= 100mm,
  pos =h,
  left
]
{c>{\raggedright}Xc>{\raggedright}X}{ \tnote{footnotes are placed under the table}
}{                  \FL
\multicolumn{4}{c}{Example using tabularx}   \ML 
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Multicolumn entry!} & THREE & FOUR     \NN
\cmidrule(r){1-2}\cmidrule(rl){3-3}\cmidrule(l){4-4}
one&
The width of this column depends table.\tmark &
three& Column four will act in the same wa column two, with the same width. \LL
}

\end{document}

Thank you very much!

It still gives the same eror and does not produce the pdf at the first try, but it gives it on second time. I'm fine with it:)))

I need footnotes for my tables

I would suggest using the threeparttablex package by Lars Madsen.
