I was testing a nice solution provided in this answer how-to-crop-background-color-in-listings-to-the-longest-line-in-the-code
However, I happened to be using longtable
and not the standard tabular
. I did not think it will make a difference.
But for some reason, the code given generates an error when used inside longtable
Everything is exactly the same. Only difference is that instead of using tabular
, I changed it to longtable
and now a syntax error shows up.
Here is MWE (same code from the above link, I just changed tabular
to longtable
, since in my code, I am actually using longtable
for everything)
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\tcbuselibrary{listings}
\usepackage{longtable}
\definecolor{bg}{RGB}{240,240,240}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{|p{0.8\textwidth}|p{.2\textwidth}|}\hline
\begin{tcblisting}{colback=bg,size=minimal,hbox,
listing only,listing options={language=Mathematica}}
f[x_] := Sin[x];
Plot[f[x],{x,-Pi,Pi}]
\end{tcblisting}
&
plot command
\\\hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

change it back to tabular
as in the original code, then there is no error!

question is: How to make the above code work in longtable
and not just in tabular
?
tabular
