When using multiline cells with tabularray like in the example below, I have the problem that my editor (emacs) recognizes the \\ that indicate a newline in a cell as the end of a row and thus messes up aligning the table in the editor. So is there a way to use another command instead of \\ for the multiline cells or map it to another macro. I tried \newcommand{\nl}{\\}, but this doesn' work (it stretches the table to the right).

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \begin{document} \begin{tblr}{colspec={clr},hlines} one & {left\\leftttt} & three \\ one & two & {right\\rightttt} \\ \end{tblr} \end{document}

(Example from here).

  • See tex.stackexchange.com/a/630796/250119 for a working hack for that. (also maybe ask L.J.R to implement it "officially" as a feature (possibly with a warning), it's not like tabularnewline has another usage anyway) Commented Jun 22, 2022 at 12:14
  • You could use \cr whithin tables Commented Jun 23, 2022 at 15:16

You can use your \nl command to break multiline cells by using varwidth library of tabularray package (and you don't need to enclose them with curly braces):

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularray} \UseTblrLibrary{varwidth} \SetTblrInner[tblr]{measure=vbox} \newcommand{\nl}{\\} \begin{document} \begin{tblr}{colspec={clr},hlines} one & left\nl leftttt & three \\ center\nl centerrrr & two & right\nl rightttt \\ \end{tblr} \bigskip \begin{tblr}{colspec={clr},hlines} one & {left\\leftttt} & three \\ {center\\centerrrr} & two & {right\\rightttt} \\ \end{tblr} \end{document}
