The columns that may stretch are % marked with the new token {\ttfamily X} in the preamble argument. % % This package requires the {\ttfamily array} package. % \end{abstract} % % \section{Introduction} % This package implements a version of the {\ttfamily tabular} % environment in which the widths of certain columns are calculated so % that the table is is a specified width. Requests for such an % environment seem to occur quite regularly in {\ttfamily % comp.text.tex}. % % \DescribeEnv{tabularx} % "\begin{tabularx}{"\meta{width}"}{"\meta{preamble}"}"\\ % The arguments of "tabularx" are essentially the same as those of % the standard "tabular*" environment. However rather than adding space % between the columns to achieve the desired width, it adjusts the % widths of some of the columns. The columns which are affected by the % {\ttfamily tabularx} environment should be denoted with the letter % {\ttfamily X} in the preamble argument. The {\ttfamily X} column % specification will be converted to "p{"\meta{some value}"}" once the % correct column width has been calculated. % % \section{Examples} % % The following table is set with % "\begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|} ...". % % \begin{center} % \begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|} % \hline % \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Multicolumn entry!}& % THREE& % FOUR\\ % \hline % one& % \raggedright\arraybackslash The width of this column depends on the % width of the table.\footnote % {You can now use {\ttfamily \bslash footnote} inside {\ttfamily % tabularx}!}& % three& % \raggedright\arraybackslash Column four will act in the same way as % column two, with the same width.\\ % \hline % \end{tabularx} % \end{center} % If we change the first line to "\begin{tabularx}{300pt}{|c|X|c|X|}" we % get: % \begin{center} % \begin{tabularx}{300pt}{|c|X|c|X|} % \hline % \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Multicolumn entry!}& % THREE& % FOUR\\ % \hline % one& % \raggedright\arraybackslash The width of this column depends on the % width of the table.& % three& % \raggedright\arraybackslash Column four will act in the same way as % column two, with the same width.\\ % \hline % \end{tabularx} % \end{center} % % \edef\mytt{\expandafter\noexpand\csname % mdseries\endcsname\noexpand\ttfamily} % \section{Differences between {\mytt tabularx} and {\mytt tabular*}} % These two environments take the same arguments, to produce a table of % a specified width. The main differences between them are: % \begin{itemize} % \item {\ttfamily tabularx} modifies the widths of the \emph{columns}, % whereas {\ttfamily tabular*} modifies the widths of the inter-column % \emph{spaces}. % \item {\ttfamily tabular} and {\ttfamily tabular*} environments may be % nested with no restriction, however if one {\ttfamily tabularx} % environment occurs inside another, then the inner one {\em must\/} be % enclosed by "{ }". % \item The body of the {\ttfamily tabularx} environment is in fact the % argument to a command, and so certain constructions which are not % allowed in command arguments (like "\verb") may not be used.\footnote % {Since Version 1.02, {\ttfamily\bslash verb and \ttfamily\bslash % verb*} may be used, but they may treat spaces incorrectly, and the % argument can not contain an unmatched {\ttfamily\char`\{} or % {\ttfamily\char`\}}, or a {\ttfamily\char`\%} character.} % \item {\ttfamily tabular*} uses a primitive capability of \TeX\ to % modify the inter column space of an alignment. {\ttfamily tabularx} % has to set the table several times as it searches for the best column % widths, and is therefore much slower. Also the fact that the body is % expanded several times may break certain \TeX\ constructs. % \end{itemize} % % \section{Customising the behaviour of {\mytt tabularx}} % % \subsection{Terminal output} % \DescribeMacro{\tracingtabularx} % If this declaration is made, say in the document preamble, then all % following {\ttfamily tabularx} environments will print information % about column widths as they repeatedly re-set the tables to find the % correct widths. % % As an alternative to using the "\tracingtabularx" declaration, either % of the options "infoshow" or "debugshow" may be given, either in the % "\usepackage" command that loads "tabularx", or as a global option % in the "\documentclass" command. % % \subsection{The environment used to typeset the {\mytt X} columns} % By default the {\ttfamily X} specification is turned into % "p{"\meta{some value}"}". Such narrow columns often % require a special format, this may be achieved using the ">" syntax % of {\ttfamily array.sty}. So for example you may give a specification % of ">{\small}X". Another format which is useful in narrow columns is % ragged right, however \LaTeX's "\raggedright" macro redefines % "\\" in a way which conflicts with its use in a tabular or array % environments. %\DescribeMacro{\arraybackslash} % For this reason this package introduces the command "\arraybackslash", % this may be used after a "\raggedright", "\raggedleft" or % "\centering" declaration. Thus a {\ttfamily tabularx} preamble may % specify\\ % ">{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X". % % \DescribeMacro{\newcolumntype} % These preamble specifications may of course be saved using the % command, "\newcolumntype", defined in {\ttfamily array.sty}. Thus we % may say\\ % "\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\small\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}"\\ % and then use {\ttfamily Y} in the {\ttfamily tabularx} preamble % argument. % % \DescribeMacro{\tabularxcolumn} % The {\ttfamily X} columns are set using the {\ttfamily p} column which % corresponds to "\parbox[t]". You may want them set using, say, the % {\ttfamily m} column, which corresponds to "\parbox[c]". It is not % possible to change the column type using the ">" syntax, so another % system is provided. "\tabularxcolumn" should be defined to be a macro % with one argument, which expands to the {\ttfamily tabular} preamble % specification that you want to correspond to {\ttfamily X}. The % argument will be replaced by the calculated width of a column. % % The default is "\newcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{p{#1}}". So we may % change this with a command such as:\\ % "\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{>{\small}m{#1}}" % % \subsection{Column widths} % Normally all {\ttfamily X} columns in a single table are set to the % same width, however it is possible to make {\ttfamily tabularx} set % them to different widths. % A preamble argument of "{>{\hsize=.5\hsize}X>{\hsize=1.5\hsize}X}" % specifies two columns, the second will be three times as wide as the % first. However if you want to play games like this you should follow % the following two rules. % \begin{itemize} % \item Make sure that the sum of the widths of all the {\ttfamily X} % columns is unchanged. (In the above example, the new widths still add % up to twice the default width, the same as two standard {\ttfamily X} % columns.) % \item Do not use "\multicolumn" entries which cross any {\ttfamily X} % column. % \end{itemize} % As with most rules, these may be broken if you know what you are % doing. % % \StopEventually{} % % \section{The Macros} % % \begin{macrocode} %<*package> % \end{macrocode} % % \changes{v2.00}{1994/02/07} % {New Option Handling} % \begin{macrocode} \DeclareOption{infoshow}{\AtEndOfPackage\tracingtabularx} \DeclareOption{debugshow}{\AtEndOfPackage\tracingtabularx} \ProcessOptions % \end{macrocode} % % This requires {\ttfamily array.sty}. % \changes{v2.00}{1994/02/07} % {Use LaTeX2e's \cmd{\RequirePackage} to load array} % \begin{macrocode} \RequirePackage{array}[1994/02/03] % \end{macrocode} % % First some registers etc.\ that we need. % \begin{macrocode} \newdimen\TX@col@width \newdimen\TX@old@table \newdimen\TX@old@col \newdimen\TX@target \newdimen\TX@delta \newcount\TX@cols \newif\ifTX@ % \end{macrocode} % % Now a trick to get the body of an environment into a token register, % without doing any expansion.

Assuming that there is at least one {\ttfamily X} column, % this will produce a table that is too wide. Divide the excess width by % the number of {\ttfamily X} columns, and reduce the column width by % this amount. Reset the table. If the table is not now the correct % width, a "\multicolumn" entry must be `hiding' one of the {\ttfamily % X} columns, and so there is one less {\ttfamily X} column affecting % the width of the table. So we reduce by 1 the number of X columns and % repeat the process. % % \begin{macro}{\TX@endtabularx} % Although I have tried to make {\ttfamily tabularx} look like an % environment, it is in fact a command, all the work is done by this % macro. % \begin{macrocode} \def\TX@endtabularx{% % \end{macrocode} % Define the {\ttfamily X} column, with an internal version of the % "\newcolumntype" command.

So % "\verb|{|" is not allowed. % \item A comment character like "%" will not appear verbatim. It will % act as usual, commenting out the rest of the input line! % \item The combinations "?`" and "!`" will appear as % {\ttfamily?`} and {\ttfamily!`} if the {\ttfamily cmtt} font is % being used. % \end{enumerate} % % \begin{macro}{\TX@verb} % The internal definition of "\verb".
