C.10 Lining It Up in Columns

François Chaplais

1 Lining It Up in Columns

1.1 The tabbing Environment

It is ignored because it is overly complicated and relies too heavily, in practice, on the width of the page.

1.2 The array and tabular Environments

The array environment is handled by the Mathjax engine.

The tabular environment is supported by LaTeX2Web. Double vertical bars are collapsed into single bars. Rows spanning multiple columns are implemented.

The tabular* environment is converted to tabular since the width parameters does not make much sense in a variable width environment.

1.3 Responsive tables

In the document options, you can choose to use a responsive version of tables on mobile. This works only if the the table has the following form:

  • a row with the list of the entries’name.

  • followed by row with the corresponding values

If your table is very large, it may not fit on mobile. It is then replaced by sequence of blocks. Each block is a two columm table, with each row configued as follows:

  • name of the entry

  • value of the entry

Here is an example:
