The document provides an online tutorial on using the longtable environment in LaTeX. It includes examples of longtables that span multiple pages and descriptions of commands used to control formatting and page breaks in longtables. The tutorial also provides an exercise for readers to recreate a sample longtable that demonstrates various longtable features.

- 2. 7 Tables Continued Longtable Another example Exercise 7.1. Longtable Title Page The tabular and tabularx environments explained in the previous chapter provide a convenient way of making tables. These environments, however, fail if a table exceeds one page. One easy trick that might do the job would be to break the tables manually but the longtable package enables automatic page breaks by the TEX compiler. 7.1.1. Constructing longtables The longtable environment shares most of the features with the tabular environment. We begin with the following example that uses most of the features of the longtable environment.

Optional arguments The optional arguments to begin{longtable} are: c l The table is set center aligned. The table is set flush left. r The table is set flush right. If no arguments are specified, the position of the table is set according to the values of LTleft and LTright. Page 4 of 10 Go Back 7.1.3. Commands and parameters Full Screen This section contains a brief description of the commands and other parameters that may be used in the longtable environment. Close LTchunksize This corresponds to the number of rows that TEX has to keep in memory at one time. By default this value is set to 20, but it can be set by the user; for Quit
- 5. LTleft LTright instance, by setcounter{LTchunksize}{10} or LTchunksize=10 to a value of 10. Changing the default does not affect page breaking. However, TEX will run faster with a large LTchunksize, and, on the other hand, will require more memory. The minimum value of LTchunksize can be set equal to 1; however, it must be at least as large as the number of rows in each of the head or foot sections (if the table head and foot need to be set). The defaults in the longtable package are such that the tables are set flush left, but are indented by the usual paragraph indentation. LTleft controls the amount of glue to the left of the table. By default this is set to parindent, but can be changed according to the requirements; for instance, by setlength LTleft{0pt}. This parameter determines the glue to the right of the table. The default for this is fill. LTpre LTpost This controls the width of the parbox containing the caption. The default width is set to 4in, but changed be changed, for instance, to a value of 2in by using setlengthLTcapwidth{2in}. At the start of the table, one may specify the lines that are to appear at the top of every page. This command is used in place of the last . If the head on the first page needs to be different than on the others, then one may specify the lines to appear in a normal way followed by endfirsthead (in place of the last ). Specifies rows to appear at the bottom of every page. Another example Exercise Title Page Denotes the glue before the table. The default is set to bigskipamount. Denotes the glue after the table. The default is again bigskipamount. LTcapwidth Longtable endhead endfirsthead endfoot endfirstfoot Specifies rows to appear at the bottom of the last page. The commands endfirsthead and endlastfoot are useful when one wants to specify something that should logically appear in the table at the end of the firsthead, of at the beginning of the lastfoot.

- 6. [ dim ] This is also similar as in the tabular environment and marks the end of the row, and then adds vertical space (as shown in Table (7.1)). * It is the same as , but disallows a page break after the row. tabularnewlineIt is an alternative to for use in the scope of raggedright and similar commands that redefine . It can also be used with an optional argument, tabularnewline[ dim ], so as to specify the end of the row, and then add a vertical space. kill If a line is killed, by using kill rather than at the end of the line, it is used in calculating column widths, but removed from the final table. pagebreak Forces a page break. pagebreak[ val ] A ‘hint’ between 0 and 4 of the desirability of a page break. A high value indicates more desirability. nopagebreak Prohibits a page break. nopagebreak[ val ] A ‘hint’ between 0 and 4 of the undesirability of a page break. newpage Forces a page break. caption{ caption } Caption ‘Table ?: caption ’, and a ‘ caption ’ entry in the list of tables. caption[ lot ]{ caption } Caption ‘Table ?: caption ’, and a ‘ lot ’ entry in the list of tables. caption[]{ caption } Caption ‘Table ?: caption ’, but no entry in the list of tables. caption*{ caption } Caption ‘ caption ’, but no entry in the list of tables. footnote Used for having footnotes, but it cannot be used in the table head and foot. footnotemark Footnotemark, can be used only in the table head and foot. footnotetext Footnote text: for use in the table body after a footnotemark has been set (should appear on the page on which the footnote is desired).
