My table was aligned very nicely, until I started trying to add indices to my book. The index at the end is loading fine, but the tables where I used the \index
method inside of lose their vertical alignment. Can anyone help? Below is example code and result
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[paperwidth=6in, paperheight=9in, margin=0.8in]{geometry}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{imakeidx}
\makeindex
\makeatletter
\patchcmd\chapter{\thispagestyle}{\global\c@footnote\z@\thispagestyle}{}{}
\makeatother
\titleformat{\chapter}{\normalfont\huge}{\thechapter.}{20pt}{\huge\it}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{}{\sffamily #1}}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\chapter{Timeline of astronomers and astrologers}
\begin{tabular}{rp{0.4\linewidth}p{0.4\linewidth}}
\textbf{Year} & \textbf{Original text} & \textbf{Translation} \\
1990BC & \index{Zoroastres}Zoroastres Bactrianorum Rex & \index{Zoroaster}Zoroaster, king of Bactria \footnotemark \\
1590BC & \index{Prometheus}Prometheus Atlantis frater & Prometheus, brother of Atlas \\
1580BC & \index{Atlas}Atlas Rex Mauritaniae & Atlas, King of Mauretania \footnotemark \\\index{Mercury}Mercury the greater \\
\end{tabular}
\printindex
\end{document}
Before I added the \index
commands, the lines were vertically aligned and not going off the right side of the page.
