TeX - LaTeX Asked by OGC on March 22, 2021
With the current version of my codes, the table looks a bit off.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{longtable}
title{A longtable example}
begin{document}
begin{center}
begin{longtable}[H]{|p{2.5cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|}
caption{WITS and ASUS Type of Treatment by Offender Type}
label{test_table} hline
&multicolumn{3}{c|}{textbf{WITS}}&multicolumn{3}{c|}{textbf{ASUS}} hline
textbf{Treatment textbackslash{} Offender Type} & textbf{Probationer} & textbf{Parolees} &textbf{Maximum-term Released Prisoners} & textbf{Probationer} & textbf{Parolees} &textbf{Maximum-term Released Prisoners} hline
Outpatient& & & & & & hline
Intensive Outpatient& & & & & & hline
Day Treatment& & & & & & hline
Partial Hospitalization& & & & & & hline
Short Term Residential& & & & & & hline
Inpatient& & & & & & hline
Long Term Residential& & & & & & hline
Therapeutic Community& & & & & & hline
end{longtable}
end{center}
end{document}
See here for the output:
Any suggestions how I can format it and make it more presentable? I have been trying adjusting the widths of the table but to no avail.
EDIT: I tried something like this:
> %documentclass{article}
> %usepackage{longtable}
>
> %title{A longtable example}
>
> %begin{document}
>
> %begin{center}
> begin{longtable}[H]{|p{2.5cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.5cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.2cm}|p{1.5cm}|}
> caption{WITS and ASUS Type of Treatment by Offender Type}
> label{ASUS-WITS_treatment_table2} hline
> &multicolumn{3}{c|}{textbf{WITS}}&multicolumn{3}{c|}{textbf{ASUS}}
> hline textbf{Treatment textbackslash{} Offender Type} &
> textbf{Prob.} & textbf{Parol.} &textbf{Max-term Rel. Pris.} &
> textbf{Prob.} & textbf{Parol.} &textbf{Max-term Rel. Pris.}

You had specified the table to be wider than the page, so I reduced the column widths.
It would look better with shorter top headings, but you need subject knowledge to pick better headings so I left them as they are.

usepackage{longtable,array}

I propose this, which uses the xltabular
environment, which combines the functionalities of longtable
and tabularx
.
Also, depending on the real contents of your table, you might consider having a landscape table.
documentclass[11pt, letterpaper]{article}
usepackage[margin=0.75in]{geometry}
usepackage{caption}
usepackage{longtable}
usepackage{xltabular}
renewcommand{tabularxcolumn}[1]{m{#1}}
usepackage{ragged2e}
newcolumntype{Y}{>{hsize=0.7hsizeRaggedRightarraybackslash}X}
title{A longtable example}
begin{document}
setlength{extrarowheight}{2pt}setlength{tabcolsep}{2pt}
captionsetup{width=linewidth}
begin{xltabular}{linewidth}{|>{hsize=1.6hsizeRaggedRight}X|*{2}{X|Y|X|}}
caption{WITS and ASUS Type of Treatment by Offender Type}
label{test_table} hline
&multicolumn{3}{c|}{textbf{WITS}}&multicolumn{2}{c|}{textbf{ASUS}} hline
textbf{Treatment textbackslash{}newline Offender Type} & textbf{Probationer} & textbf{Parolees} &textbf{Maximum-term Released Prisoners} & textbf{Probationer} & textbf{Parolees} &textbf{Maximum-term Released Prisoners} hline
Outpatient& & & & & & hline
Intensive Outpatient& & & & & & hline
Day Treatment& & & & & & hline
Partial Hospitalization& & & & & & hline
Short Term Residential& & & & & & hline
Inpatient& & & & & & hline
Long Term Residential& & & & & & hline
Therapeutic Community& & & & & & hline
end{xltabular}
end{document}
