I'd like to have an table over many pages with the same headline. I use the tabularx package, and the ltablex is required according to link. However if I use ltablex I get sticky errors ! LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end. Any idea how to solve it? A minimal example follows.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{tabularx} % for tables http://www.lapomori.com/
%\usepackage{ltablex} 
\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\caption{Example of an table}
\label{tab:daypack}     
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}cX@{}}  
\toprule
\textbf{Column 1} & \textbf{Column 2} \\[6pt]
\midrule
%\endhead
$R$ & 1This is an example sentence \\[6pt]
$R$ & 2As well as the line before \\[6pt]

The no line here to end message is an indication of misuse of \\ which should almost never be used outside of an alignment.

Remove this one:

\end{tabularx}% \\

  • Thank you! it works, but it is not "printed" on two pages. Even if I activate (uncomment) %\usepackage{ltablex} and %\endhead respectively.

  • It won't break over a page if you use a table environment. Mar 15, 2014 at 22:24
  • Thank you, I used the table environment because it was given in an example. Im very new in LaTeX and don't know exactly why if the table environment is removed, it doesn't work. Is it possible to help me out?

I think that "\ [6pt]" works only inside of \begin{align}-\end{align} and \begin{eqnarray}-\end{eqnarray}. There shouldn't use "$ $".

    Welcome to TeX.SX. \\[6pt] can also be used inside tabular and friends. However something like \renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{1.5} might be the better approach here. May 23, 2015 at 17:58
