Automatic table row numbers












34














Is there any way to get automatic row numbers in table?



For example, if I define table contents as



begin{tabular} % black magic column definition
rownumber & foo\
rownumber & bar\
rownumber & baz\
end{tabular}


and get something like



1 | foo
2 | bar
3 | baz

You could just make it use a counter...



documentclass{article}
newcounter{magicrownumbers}
newcommandrownumber{stepcounter{magicrownumbers}arabic{magicrownumbers}}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{l|r}
rownumber & Something \
rownumber & Other stuff \

    @miah: Load etoolbox and say pretotabular{setcounter{magicrownumbers}{0}}
    – egreg

    @egreg I put that before my second table but the counter did not reset. I had to use simply setcounter{magicrownumbers}{0} instead
    – David Doria
    Jul 7 '14 at 14:27












  • @DavidDoria That code should go in the preamble.
    – egreg
    Jul 7 '14 at 14:29










  • @egreg Hm, even with that in the preamble, the row numbers do not reset for me unless I clear the counter manually as I explained.

A quick plain-format version as well for completenes:



newcountrowcount
defmyhalign#1{halign{globaladvancerowcount by 1 therowcountquad##&#1}rowcount=0}
% Yes, yes, next up in *sniping*: "One problem: you can't use repeating preamble"...
myhalign{#hfilcr
blahcr
foocr}
halign{#hfilcr
barcr
bazcr}
myhalign{&#hfilcr
asdf&asdf&asdfcr
sdfg&asdf&dfghcr}
myhalign{#hfil&&hfil#cr
doesn't&workcr
boo&hoocr}
bye

  • Two problems. 1. Every subsequent halign will advance the counter even if it doesn't need it. 2. If a row shouldn't be numbered (a header), omitting therowcount would not avoid stepping the counter. The stepping should go in the table preamble.

  • @DavidDoria That code should go in the preamble.

  • @egreg Hm, even with that in the preamble, the row numbers do not reset for me unless I clear the counter manually as I explained.

@egreg I put that before my second table but the counter did not reset. I had to use simply setcounter{magicrownumbers}{0} instead

A quick plain-format version as well for completenes:



newcountrowcount
defmyhalign#1{halign{globaladvancerowcount by 1 therowcountquad##&#1}rowcount=0}
% Yes, yes, next up in *sniping*: "One problem: you can't use repeating preamble"...
myhalign{#hfilcr
blahcr
foocr}
halign{#hfilcr
barcr
bazcr}
myhalign{&#hfilcr
asdf&asdf&asdfcr
sdfg&asdf&dfghcr}
myhalign{#hfil&&hfil#cr
doesn't&workcr
boo&hoocr}
bye

  • Two problems. 1. Every subsequent halign will advance the counter even if it doesn't need it. 2. If a row shouldn't be numbered (a header), omitting therowcount would not avoid stepping the counter. The stepping should go in the table preamble.
