I created a table and it starts from the left and goes all the way to right, which looks really skewed. So I want to center align the whole table but couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm new to latex so I don't know how to use other plugin or macros, but I suppose there's a command for this basic functionality. Can anyone tell me?
If this is inside a float
like the table
environment, I'd suggest
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering % center but don't add vertical space
<your table code>
\caption{...} % caption could also be placed above the table
\label{...} % albel always AFTER \caption
\end{table}
Using the center
environment inside a float
is not recommended as it adds vertical space above and below, which the float will also do, resulting in too much space.
LaTeX
question or aTeX
question, thetex-core
confuses me. – daleif Mar 12 '13 at 9:51
