float a wide ctabular in two columns that's a great answer, very complete with references. Thank you very much for your time. In the end, we decided that the table was too long for the main text anyway and moved it to the appendices. |

float a wide ctabular in two columns @DavidCarlisle I'm very very sorry if it sounded like I was complaining about poor work. I would never presume like that or demand things to work (I'm a developer in many free and open source projects so I think I can relate). I'm not familiar with the guts of latex and was just surprised that it was hard to do. I hope to not have offended you, your work is most appreciated. |

float a wide ctabular in two columns @DavidCarlisle but doesn't that defeat a big advantage with LaTeX? It's hard to believe that is not possible to have a long table on a 2 column document. Even without worrying about mimicking float behaviour, using ctabular on its own does not work with 2 columns. |

float a wide ctabular in two columns @DavidCarlisle I did but it doesn't work with 2 column documents. I tried with the \one/twocolumn commands on the outside but that also didn't work. The afterpage package manual says the same. I have also tried the longtable environment but it has the same problem. |

float a wide ctabular in two columns @DavidCarlisle no. While it does move the table to the top of the next page, all the rest of the text is still skipped until the table is finished. I end up with 2 paragraphs of text, then the rest of the page empty, the following 3 pages with the table, and only then does the text continues. I really don't require the "place table right after this text" default behaviour, more of float that would span over pages. |

Set multicolumn width to default table width thank you for solution. But my problem is actually simpler. My apologies I should have made it more explicit on the question. See my edit and I found my solution with David's answer. |

Set multicolumn width to default table width Thank you, this solves my problem. The other rows should be quite small, this is the only one that should have to span multiple rows. |

Set multicolumn width to default table width That's not working for me. I should have been more explicit on the question, but the only row that will take the whole horizontal space of the table, is also the one I'm also trying to limit. |

force long text inside \item[{\texttt{}] to wrap I have found how to do it. It's in the manual. Basically, just set the style back to standard after. The following sequence does what I wanted \setlist[description]{style=unboxed}, \input{documentation}, \setlist[description]{style=standard}. |

force long text inside \item[{\texttt{}] to wrap that worked fine. The package does not accept the option with \usepackage. Instead, I had to use \setlist[description]{style=unboxed}. I set it right before the call to \input to avoid changing the rest of the document. Still, it may affect whatever comes after. Do you know how to make this options apply only there? |

force long text inside \item[{\texttt{}] to wrap thanks for the tip but I cannot change the input file where the actual description environment is. I can only add code on my own LaTeX document before, or after the call to \input. |
