I can't seem to get the table to extend over to the next page with '--continued from previous page' to be at the top of the second page.

Could someone help me how to get this long table over multiple pages with fixed width columns as per my multicolumn code?

Thanks, Ed

  • threeparttablex which is intended to be used with longtble or related multiple page tables wuch as xltabular has a different syntax than threeparttable, which you used in your example. You can find an example for the use of threeparttablex here: tex.stackexchange.com/a/536186/134144

  • Apart from that, you can't place a xltabular environment inside of a table environment if you want the table to correctly span multiple pages.

  • @leandriis - thanks. I will check this out now.

  • Since you mention fixed width columns: Is there a special reason for which you want to fix the width of, for example, the second and third column? As far as I can tell, the entries in these columns are rather short, so regular l (orc) columns should do fine?

  • @leandriis - My initial concern was the have the text "BLAH" in the fourth column wrap around multiple lines. This text will be the longest of any of the columns but I couldnt find a way for it to stay within the column unless I used tabularx. Will longtable enable the columns to be as wide as they need and the row height to expand as needed (assuming I have longtable{\linewidth})?

I suggest the following layout using threeparttablex, Xltabular and booktabs:

For a landscape oriwnted table, add the pdflscape package to your premamble and place the whole ThreePartTable environment inside of a landscape environment. The width of the table automatically adjusts to the avialable space.

Since overleaf uses and older version of xltabular, the caption on the second page will show the wrong number. In order to overcome this, you can add \addtocounter{table}{-1} as shown in the following example. With an up to date installation and the most recent version of xltabular, this line is not neccessary any more:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltabular}
\usepackage{threeparttablex}
\usepackage{booktabs, caption}

  • Hi @leandriis, this works well, however unlike your example, the table number in my version increases/changes from Table 1.1 to Table 1.2 across pages. I am guessing this has to do with some of the features in the cls/bst files specific to my template? Do you know what I should be looking to change in order for the same table number to exist for the same table even if it extends into two pages? Thanks

  • Which version of the xltabular package did ou use? If I remeber correctly, older version of xltabular showed this behaviour. According to the release notes of version 0.2d, this bug was fixed in this version.

  • Thanks - sorry I'm really quite new to this is if that isn't obvious. I am using overleaf to compile but not sure what version of xltabular I'm on. How would I check? Also, is there a simple way of turning that table landscape?

It is enough to respect the syntax from threeparttablex, which is not exactly that of threeparttable:

  • the environment is ThreePartTable (with 3 capital letters);
  • The table notes are declared in a TableNotes environment at the very beginning of ThreePartTable, then inserted in the longtable (or xltabular) where you please with the \insertTableNotes command. In the code that follows,I've inserted it at the very end of the table, in the \endlastfoot section.

This being said, I don't understand why you declare fixed width columns, tthese in each cell, use systematically \multicolumn{1}{m{some length}}{...}.

Any way, here is a code that works:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xltabular}
\usepackage{dcolumn}
\usepackage{threeparttablex}
\usepackage{booktabs, caption}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\newcolumntype{b}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\newcolumntype{s}{>{\centering\arraybackslash\hsize=.3\hsize}X}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{3cm}}
\newcommand{\heading}[1]{\multicolumn{1}{c}{#1}}

Addendum: If you want 3 standard X columns and a 4th X column three times less wide, you have to use the syntax in the table preamble:

 *{3}{>{\hsize=1.2\hsize}X}>{\hsize=0.4\hsize}X

(Namely, the coefficients have to be proportional to the relative column width, and their sum has to be equal to the number of X columns).

  • In this case, replace xltabular with a simple longtable ad change the table preamble accordingly. The rest doesn't change.
