I have a longtable that has paragraphs in each cell in the second column. My problem is that when a page ends, it can break only at the end of a row. This often leaves large blank space at the end of some pages, which I have to adjust manually. Was wondering if there is some way I can tell LaTeX to break the page within a row, where needed, so that I won't have to do it manually. Or, maybe some other way of doing it. A minimal example that I could create is as follows:
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{lp{0.9\textwidth}}
1 & \lipsum[1].\\
2. &\lipsum[2].\\
3. &\lipsum[3].\\
4. &\lipsum[4].\\
5 & \lipsum[5].\\
6. &\lipsum[6].\\
7. &\lipsum[7].\\
8. &\lipsum[8].\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
Here you can see some blank space at the end of the first page. In my work this space sometimes becomes much bigger.
enumerate
list. Maybe this is an alternative that works for you.
