Lining up information using the tabbing environment
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textbf{#1}}

Not good yet:
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textbf{#1}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabbing}
Family \= \verb|\textrm{...}| \= \head{Declaration} \= \kill\\
\> \head{Command} \> \head{Declaration} \> \head{Example}\\

Creating tables
\documentclass{article}
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textnormal{\textbf{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\hline
\head{Command} & \head{Declaration} & \head{Output}\\
\hline
\verb|\textrm| & \verb|\rmfamily| & \rmfamily Example text\\
\verb|\textsf| & \verb|\sffamily| & \sffamily Example text\\
\verb|\texttt| &\verb|\ttfamily| & \ttfamily Example text\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
Horizontal alignment within cells:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|r|p{1.7cm}|}
\hline
left & centered & right & a fully justified paragraph cell\\
\hline
l & c & r & p\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
Note: vertical lines are just for checking the alignment – generally they are not recommendable.
Vertical alignment within cells:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{}lp{1.2cm}m{1.2cm}b{1.2cm}@{}}
\hline
baseline & aligned at the top& aligned at the middle
& aligned at the bottom\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{4pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{}>{\itshape}ll!{:}l<{.}@{}}
\hline
Info: & Software & \LaTeX\\
& Author & Leslie Lamport\\
& Website & www.latex-project.org\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
Nice rules with booktabs:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textnormal{\textbf{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{ccc}
\toprule[1.5pt]
\head{Command} & \head{Declaration} & \head{Output}\\
\midrule
\verb|\textrm| & \verb|\rmfamily| & \rmfamily Example text\\
\verb|\textsf| & \verb|\sffamily| & \sffamily Example text\\
\verb|\texttt| &\verb|\ttfamily| & \ttfamily Example text\\
\bottomrule[1.5pt]
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
Merging cells horizontally:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textnormal{\textbf{#1}}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{@{}*3l@{}}

\bottomrule[1.5pt]
\end{tabular}
\end{document} |
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\newcommand{\head}[1]{\textnormal{\textbf{#1}}}
\newcommand{\normal}[1]{\multicolumn{1}{l}{#1}}
\begin{document}

In the table “Merging cells horizontally :”
I wanted to make a 10 column table, if I use 10 instead of 3 in the following command it gives error
\begin{tabular}{@{}*3l@{}}
please help .
