[texhax] RefMan refart class table fullpage maxipage

[Ron RJF Fehd]

Hi folks

I just spent a head-scratching day figuring out what this message means

! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.

Here is an example of the correct usage:

\documentclass{refart}
\title{\jobname}\author{R.J. Fehd}\date{draft of \today}
\usepackage{fancyvrb,hyperref}
\begin{document}\maketitle
\section*{Abstract}This document is a demonstration of the
\href{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/refman}{Reference Manual}
\texttt{refart} class with illustrations of the correct usage of:
\begin{itemize}
\item table maxipage tabular
\item fullpage table tabular
\end{itemize}

Note: Placing a table with a maxipage generates an error:

\begin{verbatim}
\begin{maxipage}
\begin{table}[h]\caption{This does not work!}
\begin{tabular}{lllllllllllllll}
This&is&a&very&wide&table&with&many&columns&used&as&a&demonstration
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{maxipage}
\end{verbatim}

The error is:
\begin{verbatim}
! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.

l.10 \begin{table}[h]
                     \caption{Whoa! fullpage worked like this!}
\end{verbatim}


\hrulefill

\tableofcontents\listoftables

\section{Table contains maxipage}
This section has a table containing a tabular inside a maxipage.

%\maxipagerulefalse %turns off hrulefill before and after maxipage

\begin{table}[h]\caption{Maxipage containing tabular}
\begin{maxipage}
\begin{tabular}{lllllllllllllll}
This&is&a&very&wide&table&with&many&columns&used&as&a&demonstration
\end{tabular}
\end{maxipage}
\end{table}

The next section is on the next page.

\hrulefill

\begin{fullpage}%generates \newpage
\section{Fullpage contains Table}
\begin{table}[h]\caption{Fullpage containing table and tabular}
\begin{tabular}{lllllllllllllll}
This&is&a&very&wide&table&with&many&columns&used&as&a&demonstration\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

Note the \texttt{hrulefill} extends across the whole page.

\hrulefill

\end{fullpage}%continued on next page: normal layout

\section{Last Page}
This page intentionally left blank to show \texttt{newpage} is unneeded.

\hrulefill

\end{document}
