Simple problem with alignment in Latex table
I have a simple alignment question for Latex tables. At the moment it looks as follows:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| c | l | l | }
\hline
\tt {a} & $a = b + c + d + e + f + g + $ \\
& $ e + f + g + h + i + j$ \\ \hli开发者_运维百科ne
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
The problem is, that the output looks as follows:
a = b + c + ...
e + f + ....
However, I would like to have it looks as
a = b + c + ...
e + f + ...
Anyone an idea how I could do that in a table?
Thanks, Klaus
Please use the align
environment for multiline equations.
You can add a \phantom{a = }
to indicate the should-be-existing spaces.
& $\phantom{a = }e + f + g + h + i + j$ \\ \hline
As KennyTM pointed out, you shouldn't typeset multiline equations using tables like this. But if you must do it, you could do it like this:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{| c | l @{} l | }
\hline
\tt {a} & $a =\;$ & $b + c + d + e + f + g + $ \\
& & $e + f + g + h + i + j$ \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
The usual way is to make an additional column for the a =
part; right-aligning it, and removing spacing with the next column for aesthetics:
\begin{tabular}{ c r @{} l } % you have one superfluous l
\tt {a} & $a =$ & $b + c + d + e + f + g +$ \\
& & $e + f + g + h + i + j$ \\
\end{tabular}
Maybe you will need an explicit space after the =
sign, so that it's properly spaced with the b
.
Another solution would be to have a multiline equation in a single cell of the table, but that amounts to the same (you will need an array
environment or something similar to wrap the left part).
