i have two tables, each of them has 4 columns. one is just below the other. i want to know how to make every column of the below table have same width of the column of the above table. it looks like this:
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| | | | |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| | | | |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| | | | |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
some space lines are here.
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| | | | |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
| | | | |
|-------|-------|-------|-------|
adding one more hline
will make one table septable
, which it looks like two tables with good vertical alignment.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}[b]{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\textbf{Item-No.} & \textbf{name} & \textbf{cross section} & \textbf{grade}\\
\hline
\textbf{W1} & Z-column & HN350x175 -- 346x174 & Q235\\
\hline
\textbf{W17} & Horiz. support transversal hoist beam & HW100x100 & Q235\\
\hline
\hline
\textbf{P11} & longitudinal hoist beam & HN300x150 -- 300x150 & Q235\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
but one more thing, how to add vertical spacing
between the tables?
\multicolumn{4}{l}
. Would this be OK for your document? – Martin Scharrer♦ Mar 17 '11 at 14:38
