hello all
i have two small questions on tables. i have done info latex and could
not find an answer.
firstly, how do i make a table go beyond a page? my work often demands
me to make tables longer than a page. i have googled but could not find
a solution. could someone help with easy to understand, step by step,
newbie kind information?
secondly, i have never been able to use multicolumn. i have used
following syntax:
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\multicolumn{2}{l}{some text here}&\\
\multicolumn{2}{l}{some text here}\\
\end{tabular}
none of these work. what is the correct format for multicolumn?
lastly, when i use p type columns, can i not determine the alignment?
for instance:
\begin{tabular}{p{2in}p{4in}}
some text&Some text\\
\end{tabular}
can i not get some text to be left aligned and Some text to be center
aligned?
