Next: Multiline Equations Up: Tables, Arrays, and Lists Previous: Constructing Arrays Contents
To construct a table, surround the entries with a
\begin{tabular}{justification} command and an
\end{tabular} command. The justification should consist
of l for left justification, c for centered
justification, or r for right justification. Separate column
entries by a &, and end each line with a
.
Use \hline to
construct a horizontal line, and separate the l, c, and
r's by a | wherever you want a vertical line. For example:
\begin{tabular}{|r|c|l|}
\hline
Right & Center & Left\\
\hline
alpha&beta&gamma\\
delta&epsilon&zeta\\
eta&theta&iota\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
produces
| Right | Center | Left |
| alpha | beta | gamma |
| delta | epsilon | zeta |
| eta | theta | iota |
Practice:
Create your own document with a table with a mix of left, center, and
right-justified columns.
