| Feb 16, 2021 at 11:14 | comment | added | David Carlisle | You have posted multiple copies of this now and i really can not guess the intention of the multicolumn You show an image of a table with 8 columns so why do you declare 20 columns in the table (and still after multiple times do that with no X) then have spanning columns in every cell? | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 10:20 | comment | added | Lubomir Borisov | Can you help me with the calculation of one row ? I set \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0.8mm}. How many times this is used ? For every column in the row twice - one for the left side and one for the right side? How to calculate the width of the rules ? | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 10:14 | comment | added | Ulrike Fischer | yes, that what I mean. You need to account for the column separations \tabcolsep and the width of the rules (assuming that you load array). It is a bit work, but normally at the end much easier to control. I only use X-columns if calculation really doesn't work for some reason. | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 10:09 | comment | added | Lubomir Borisov | By calculation you mean for each row to do something like \textwidth - (sum of numeric columns width) = space left for variable columns ? And then use mutlicolumn{2}{|p{lets say 30mm}|}{variable} . Is this correct ? Also when I have multicolumn does it actually matters how many columns I put in there when I point out its a p column with its own width ? Ofc I need to fullfill the required columns of the table preamble for the row. | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 9:50 | comment | added | Ulrike Fischer | No you don't need an X type. you only should decide how wide the columns with the numbers should be and then calculate the width of the rest. then you can use the p or w type. | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 9:47 | comment | added | Lubomir Borisov | You are right. I know this. David Carlisle said that I can not use column of type X and then multicolumn{2}{|l|} . I need to use multicolumn{2}{|X|} where things like multicolumn{2}{|X|}{ \centering TEST } actually don't work.The example I provided produces equal result with longtable also. | |
| Feb 16, 2021 at 9:13 | comment | added | Ulrike Fischer | well the first thing you need to understand is that it doesn't make any sense at all to use xtabular without a X-column. | |
