TeX - LaTeX Asked by LourdesRiquelme on December 5, 2020
I’m trying to get a table that automatically inserts a line-break so some very long text can fit in the cell, instead of overflowing to the margins like it’s doing now. I tried with makecell but didn’t work.
I’ve also tried breaking the line manually (even if it’s not the ideal solution) with but again, didn’t work either.
It’s a complex table because it has some combined cells.
This is my attempt:
usepackage{multirow}
usepackage{tabularx}
begin{document}
begin{table}[htbp]
centering
begin{tabularx}{textwidth}{|l|l|X|}
hline
Allele & Guide RNA & Repair template
hline
hline
allele1 & GuideRNA#1 & ATTATCCATGGAACGTTCACCGTATTGTTCATCTTCAGcTGaCAACTTATATCGATTCTCGCGAATCTTCCACTTGC
hline
allele2 & begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
GuideRNA2.1
GuideRNA2.2
end{tabular} & AATATTATACAAACgTCGAATATTGTACaTTGTCGATATTGTCGAACATATATTAATCCATATGTATATCTTCCTGAT
hline
allele3 & begin{tabular}{@{}l@{}}
GuideRNA3.1
GuideRNA3.2
end{tabular} & GACACTCGAAGAGAAGCTTCCGCAATATGTATGCTTTCAGTCAACACTACTCTATACCTCGAGCAAGGGTGATCGTCGTATTCGAGTACATACAATGTGCCTT
hline
allele4 & GuideRNA4 & AACGTTCACCGTATTGTTCATCTTCAGTTGGCAACTTATATCGATTCTCGaGAATCTTCCAtTgGCaTTCTACCACATTTACACATACGCCAAACGCCCAGTGATGTCTGGACCAGG
hline
end{tabularx}
end{table}
end{center}
end{document}
but this is how it looks like:
[
Ideally, it’d look like this one (made in Word):
The strings in the final column aren't human-language "words" and thus won't be line-broken sensibly by TeX's default hyphenation algorithm. I suggest you use the seqsplit
macro (provided by the seqsplit package) to force the automated insertion of suitable linebreaks.
I'd also like to encourage you to give the table a more open "look" by getting rid of all vertical rules and by employing fewer, but well-spaced, horizontal rules, using the macros of the booktabs package.
