[XeTeX] XeTeX Digest, Vol 75, Issue 34

[Alan Munn]

This isn't really a XeLaTeX question, but a very elementary latex  
question.  There are so many things wrong with the table you posted  
it's hard to know where to start.  First, you should find some good  
introductory material on latex generally, since the code below shows  
that you haven't really got the faintest idea about basic issues.

Some comments:

multicolumn -> \multicolumn

you can't have spaces/tabs between a \ and the rest of the command  
(e.g. most of your \hlines)

table rows must end with \\

(tables with lines are generally considered bad formatting.  Try using  
the booktabs package.)

When you've fixed these issues (and read some basic things about  
latex) your question will probably be answered by itself.

Make a small table and see how the different commands work, for  
practice.
