Create a multi-page table without tabularx
2
I have create a multi-page table. Using tabularx, my attempt is as follows:
documentclass[a4paper,preprint,aps,unsortedaddress]{revtex4}
usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm]{geometry}
usepackage{ltablex}
usepackage{longtable,booktabs}
ifdefinedmc
renewcommand{mc}{multicolumn}
else
newcommand{mc}{multicolumn}
fi
begin{document}
begin{tabularx}{linewidth}{lr@{--}p{1.3cm}>{centeringarraybackslash}p{2.6cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{2.1cm}p{0.7cm}}
caption{Table} \ hline hline
endfirsthead
mc{8}{c}{tablename thetable -- emph{Continued from previous page}} \ hline
aaa & mc{2}{c}{bbb--ccc} & ddd & eee & fff & ggg & hhh & iii & jjj \ hline
endhead
hline mc{8}{r}{emph{ Continued on next page }} \
endfoot
hline hline
endlastfoot
aaa & mc{2}{c}{bbb--ccc} & ddd & eee & fff & ggg & hhh & iii & jjj \
aaa & bbb & ccc & ddd & eee & fff & ggg & hhh & iii & jjj \
aaa & bbb & ccc & ddd & eee & fff & ggg & hhh & iii & jjj \
aaa & bbb & ccc & ddd & eee & fff & ggg & hhh & iii & jjj
end{tabularx}
end{document}
which does not contain a X column. I would like to obtain a correct multi-page table utilizing the {lr@{--}p{1.3cm}>{centeringarraybackslash}p{2.6cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{1.25cm}p{2.1cm}p{0.7cm}} format. Could you please help me how to rewrite this code to obtain a correct table?

Your requirements appear to be mutually exclusive. E.g., the width of the currenttabularxenvironment is less thantextwidth. By switching to a setup with one or more columns of typeX, the table's width will increase totextwidth. However, that seems to be expressly forbidden, since you've also written that "the output format of the table cannot change". Or is the width of a table not part of its format? What gives?

Since you seem to have hit on a format that's to your liking, and since the width is less thantextwidth, why don't you just define alongtable?

Since the table's width is slightly less than textwidth, there seems to be no need for the tabularx-related overhead. Instead, just use a longtable to typeset the material.

Thank you very much! Just two quick question: how to reduce left and right margins around the table? I tried to use setlengthLTleft{-3.0cm} and setlengthLTright{-2.5cm} but they are not working. :(

Please clarify what you mean by "reduce left and right margins around the table". For sure, thelongtablefits (just) inside the textblock.

usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm, left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm, showframe]{geometry}defines 3.5 and 2.5 cm margins on the left and right sides, respectively. I would like to use 0.5 and 0.5 cm for them, but only around the table (my tables are too wide).
– Roloka
Feb 12 at 19:17
@Roloka - I don't understand: the total width of thelongtableis less thantextwidth. By the way, rather than make the table even wider, I'd reduce the amount of intercolumn whitespace.

Thank you very much! Just two quick question: how to reduce left and right margins around the table? I tried to use setlengthLTleft{-3.0cm} and setlengthLTright{-2.5cm} but they are not working. :(

Please clarify what you mean by "reduce left and right margins around the table". For sure, thelongtablefits (just) inside the textblock.

usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm, left=3.5cm,right=2.5cm, showframe]{geometry}defines 3.5 and 2.5 cm margins on the left and right sides, respectively. I would like to use 0.5 and 0.5 cm for them, but only around the table (my tables are too wide).

@Roloka - I don't understand: the total width of thelongtableis less thantextwidth. By the way, rather than make the table even wider, I'd reduce the amount of intercolumn whitespace.

@Roloka -- Do you want me to delete this answer as it evidently doesn't address your real, though unstated, formatting requirments?

Your requirements appear to be mutually exclusive. E.g., the width of the current
tabularxenvironment is less thantextwidth. By switching to a setup with one or more columns of typeX, the table's width will increase totextwidth. However, that seems to be expressly forbidden, since you've also written that "the output format of the table cannot change". Or is the width of a table not part of its format? What gives?– Mico

Since you seem to have hit on a format that's to your liking, and since the width is less than
textwidth, why don't you just define alongtable?– Mico
