longtables

[Ian Fantom]

I'm trying to find the best way of creating a two-column table across
the page, or 75% or so, in which each column consists of text to be wrapped.

I got as far as:


\begin{longtable}[l]{l|p{0.75\textwidth}}

which worked fine as long as the left column was short, and didn't need
wrapping. I've played with it quite a bit, but can't find any solution
in which the left column will wrap, that will compile.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ian Fantom

Hi

Below is a small example and attached is the result. Is that what you need?

Ooops... I forgot the latex file:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{longtable}

\begin{document}

 \begin{longtable}{|p{0.25\textwidth}|p{0.75\textwidth}|}
\hline
Left column & Right column \\
\hline
Text in left column Text in left column Text in left column Text in left column Text in left column Text in left column Text in left column & Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column Text in right column v Text in right column\\
    \hline
  \end{longtable}

\end{document}

Perfect. Thanks!

I was struggling to understand how the bracketing worked. I'd attempted something like your solution but the bracketing was wrong.

Now full steam ahead :-)
