I am having problems with tabulary in a 2-column table. If column2 has multiple lines of text, it causes column1 to be squeezed to a ridiculously small width. And column1 sometimes overflows into column2. Basic markup:
\usepackage{tabulary} ... begin{table}[H] begin{tabulary}{.9\textwidth}[]{|L|L|} ... \end{tabulary} \end{table} More detail:
{\small\begin{table}[H] \caption{Conventions Used in This Document} \begin{tabulary}{.9\textwidth}[]{|L|L|} \hline \textbf{Convention} & \textbf{ Meaning } \\ \hline \textbf{boldface} & Boldface type indicates graphical user interface elements associated with an action, or terms defined in text or the glossary. \\ \hline \textit{italic} & Italic type indicates book titles, emphasis, or placeholder variables for which you supply particular values. \\ \hline \texttt{monospace} & Monospace type indicates commands within a paragraph, URLs, code in examples, text that appears on the screen, or text that you enter. \\ \hline \end{tabulary} \end{table} Suggested fix of replacing {|L|L|} with {|1L|} fails with following error:
! Package array Error: Illegal pream-token (1): `c' used.
