I am trying to make a longtable, that has repeating headers. Also, each row has rules. In the second page, however, the rule repeats twice.It looks unpolished. How do I fix this?

You should also ask yourself what exactly you're trying to achieve with all thosehddashline
directives. Thelongtable
will look a lot cleaner (or, to use your phrase, more polished) if all, or at least most, of these directives are simply omitted. Your readers will thank you.

Mico, The confusion comes from the MWE. My actual data is several columns wide. I have added a screen-shot. Do you still suggest that omitting rules will improve readability?

@AK16 - Are you familiar with the Latin proverb, "Quod licet Iovis, non licet bovis"? Speaking for myself here, I doubt the table from The Economist magazine would be less legible had all dashed lines been omitted. :-)

This is a known feature of
longtable

ormemoir
, so I deleted the tags– Christian Hupfer

You should also ask yourself what exactly you're trying to achieve with all those
hddashline
directives. Thelongtable
will look a lot cleaner (or, to use your phrase, more polished) if all, or at least most, of these directives are simply omitted. Your readers will thank you.– Mico

Mico, The confusion comes from the MWE. My actual data is several columns wide. I have added a screen-shot. Do you still suggest that omitting rules will improve readability?

@AK16 - Are you familiar with the Latin proverb, "Quod licet Iovis, non licet bovis"? Speaking for myself here, I doubt the table from The Economist magazine would be less legible had all dashed lines been omitted. :-)
