Probably a very simple and maybe stupid question, but I haven't yet been able to figure out how to make a table like this in LaTeX:

enter image description here

So basically all that I want is the horizontal and vertical line that I drew to be boldfaced and then the rest of the columns and rows not to be separated by any lines. How could I do this in the easiest way? Thank you in advance.

    This is a very basic LaTeX table formatting task. Show your previous efforts by providing some code of your own. Or start reading a LaTeX tutorial or Lamports LaTeX manual about creating tables using the tabular environment. – AlexG Jun 21 '13 at 12:03

  • @AlexG I am quite familiar already with Latex, only not with making tables using Latex. I have tried searching how to make tables in the way I want using that environment but the ones I came across so far are not what I want. Maybe you could just try to help me instead of directly becoming offensive. – me1234567 Jun 21 '13 at 12:07

    See en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Tables#Basic_examples , the first result of a google search for 'tables latex tutorial' – AlexG Jun 21 '13 at 12:13
  • @AlexG And all of them are not the same as the one I want... But anyway, luckily there are also people who are willing to help. – me1234567 Jun 21 '13 at 12:15

Well, I have a series of possible answers. Choose the one you like (some of them use the package booktabs, as you can see in the code:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}


\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{Your caption here}\label{tab:yourlabel}
\begin{tabular}{l|lll}
\toprule
\textbf{Hola1} & \textbf{Hola2} & \textbf{Hola3}\\
\midrule
datum1 & datum2 &datum3 &etc\\
datum4 & datum5 &datum6 &etc\\
%\midrule
datum7 & datum8 &datum9 &etc\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{Your caption here}\label{tab:yourlabel}
\begin{tabular}{l|lll}
\toprule
\textbf{Hola1} & \textbf{Hola2} & \textbf{Hola3}\\
\hline
datum1 & datum2 &datum3 &etc\\
datum4 & datum5 &datum6 &etc\\
%\midrule
datum7 & datum8 &datum9 &etc\\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{Your caption here}\label{tab:yourlabel}
\begin{tabular}{l|lll}
\textbf{Hola1} & \textbf{Hola2} & \textbf{Hola3}\\
\hline
datum1 & datum2 &datum3 &etc\\
datum4 & datum5 &datum6 &etc\\
%\midrule
datum7 & datum8 &datum9 &etc\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

They produce this:

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Usually, we don't put a greeting or a “thank you” in our posts. While this might seem strange at first, it is not a sign of lack of politeness, but rather part of our trying to keep everything very concise. Accepting and upvoting answers is the preferred way here to say “thank you” to users who helped you. – Mario S. E. Jun 21 '13 at 12:17
  • My bad, I'll take notice of it in my future posts. – me1234567 Jun 21 '13 at 12:18

    @Mario S. E.: this is part of a larger debate that is on the meta, but I think that it is OK to say thank you as a comment in an answer. A lot of times, when my solution is not accepted, I am left wondering whether the OP found my solution useful or not as I cannot know if the OP upvoted my answer or not. – Aditya Jun 21 '13 at 13:23
