To conform to the form of a company Word template, I have to put a very long text in a table cell. But I can not find a way not to overflow the bottom of a page. Is there a way in LaTeX that enables the long text in a table cell to spread over several pages? I have tried several tabular packages but none of them produces the required result. Even the xtab
package does not do the job. Essentially I want the following code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xtab}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{xtabular}{|l|p{0.9\textwidth}|}
\hline
Lorem Ipsum & \lipsum[1-9] \\
\hline
\end{xtabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}
to produce something similar to what you will get when put the long text in a table cell in a word processor like MS Word or LibreOffice Writer. The long text continues in a continued table in the next page.
\item[Lorem Ipsum] \lipsum[1-9]
almost every table with a column spec oflp{..}
is better set as a list.
