Tabularx environment












3















I have problems translating this table (from Online table generator) to tabularx environment so it would be coherent with the rest of Tables of my document. Could you kindly help me? Thanks!



documentclass{article}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{graphicx}

begin{document}
begin{table}
centering
caption{My caption}
resizebox{textwidth}{!}{%
begin{tabular}{cccccc}
hline
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \
hline
multirow{2}{*}{Pepe} & multirow{2}{*}{a} & multirow{2}{*}{b} & multirow{2}{*}{c} & multirow{2}{*}{d} & e \
& & & & & f \
hline
multicolumn{1}{l}{} & multicolumn{1}{l}{} & multicolumn{1}{l}{} & multicolumn{1}{l}{} & multicolumn{1}{l}{} & multicolumn{1}{l}{} \
hline
end{tabular}%
}
end{table}
end{document}


That is, the table should start by:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{graphicx}
usepackage{tabularx}

begin{document}
begin{table}
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}
end{tabularx}
BLA, BLA, BLA.
end{table}
end{document}

  • A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces or enclose words in backticks `, they'll be marked as code, as can be seen in my edit. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it).

  • Remember, tabularx takes two arguments, you only listed one

    Centering a box of textwidth? Resize a a small table ? Multicolumns of 1 column? Another suggestion: Do no use table generators, the resulting code is garbage.

Here are two solutions. The first uses a tabularx environment, with all six columns using a centered version of the X column type. The second uses a tabular* environment, with all six columns using the c column type. Both solutions occupy the full width of the textblock.



Since multicolumn{1}{l}{} does nothing at all, you might as well omit those instructions.

documentclass{article}
usepackage{multirow,tabularx,booktabs}
newcommand{mr}[1]{multirow{2}{*}{#1}} % handy shortcut macro
% centered version of X column type:
newcolumntype{C}{>{centeringarraybackslash}X}

usepackage[skip=0.333baselineskip]{caption} % optional

begin{document}
begin{table}
%%centering % <-- redundant
caption{tabularx}
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{@{} *{6}{C} @{}}

mr{Pepe} & mr{a} & mr{b} & mr{c} & mr{d} & e \
& & & & & f \
midrule
& & & & & \ % no need for "multicolumn{1}{l}{}" stuff
bottomrule
end{tabularx}

vspace{1cm} %
setlengthtabcolsep{0pt}

begin{tabular*}{textwidth}{@{extracolsep{fill}} *{6}{c} }

    As @daleif mentioned you forgot to add the second bracket with your columns' specification {cccccc}.
    I give you a MWE:



    documentclass{article}
    usepackage{tabularx}

    begin{document}
    begin{table}
    caption{BLA, BLA, BLA.}
    centering
    begin{tabularx}{.3textwidth}{c}
    hlinehline
    My table header\
    hline
    My table contents\
    hlinehline
    end{tabularx}
    end{table}
    end{document}


    Supplement



    Additionally, keep in mind that there is a package called tabu, which is more powerful than tabularx.

      It does not make any sense to use tabularx with no X columns, then you could just as well have used tabular

      – daleif
      yesterday











    • I agree with you, the package aim is to adapt the space between columns, e.g. begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|}...

      – peterdelarue
      yesterday











    • Your MWE, which contains a tabularx column with a single column of type c, does not really solved the OP's question, which was about a table with six [6] columns. Please consider editing your LaTeX code so that it more directly addresses the OP's needs.

    You do not need multicolumns in every cell, nor multirow{2}{*}{...}, nor tabularx or tabular* to extend the text width, nor empty rows. Here you have enough with m columns (of array package) and, of course, with booktabs: :)



    mwe



    documentclass{article}
    usepackage{graphicx,array,booktabs}
    begin{document}
    begin{table}
    caption{My caption}
    newcolumntype{C}{>{centeringarraybackslash}m{dimexprlinewidth/6-2tabcolsep}}
    begin{tabular}{CCCCCC}toprule
    1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \midrule
    Pepe & a & b & c & d &epar f\bottomrule
    end{tabular}
    end{table}
    end{document}


    By the way, I would not use columns of more two-three em here. Widening the table as much as possible instead of a small centered table does not make it more beautiful, but ugly scattered.

              Additionally, keep in mind that there is a package called tabu, which is more powerful than tabularx.

                It does not make any sense to use tabularx with no X columns, then you could just as well have used tabular

              • I agree with you, the package aim is to adapt the space between columns, e.g. begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|}...

              • Your MWE, which contains a tabularx column with a single column of type c, does not really solved the OP's question, which was about a table with six [6] columns. Please consider editing your LaTeX code so that it more directly addresses the OP's needs.

              As @daleif mentioned you forgot to add the second bracket with your columns' specification {cccccc}.
              I give you a MWE:

              You do not need multicolumns in every cell, nor multirow{2}{*}{...}, nor tabularx or tabular* to extend the text width, nor empty rows. Here you have enough with m columns (of array package) and, of course, with booktabs: :)



              mwe



              documentclass{article}
              usepackage{graphicx,array,booktabs}
              begin{document}
              begin{table}
              caption{My caption}
              newcolumntype{C}{>{centeringarraybackslash}m{dimexprlinewidth/6-2tabcolsep}}
              begin{tabular}{CCCCCC}toprule
              1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \midrule
              Pepe & a & b & c & d &epar f\bottomrule
              end{tabular}
              end{table}
              end{document}


              By the way, I would not use columns of more two-three em here. Widening the table as much as possible instead of a small centered table does not make it more beautiful, but ugly scattered.
