Line break within a table cell

To revisit an old problem. Why can't the suggested solution work for this? Look out for the \par\medskip below (on the row starting with "MSA" and notice it does not achieve the desired new paragraph and lineskip. Thanks.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{booktabs}

latexmk.exe: The Perl interpreter could not be found.

I guess you could change the perl distribution (as I did) or try to find all the calls of perl in latexmk.

Ah, very good.

I understand the change distribution solution; but what about the "find all the calls of perl in latexmk solution" - what does that mean and how do I do that? Thanks!

Center columns inside a tabular

Hi Peter,

you could define a centered X column like this:

\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{C}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}

Stefan

I'm not sure why but it didn't work - wasn't able to center-align the contents of the column? Did it work for you?

Could it be because my tabular is not ...

Center columns inside a tabular

I need the second two columns to be centered.

I also need someone to please help me clean up this table. It looks ugly.

Notice it is inside a multicolumn (2-column) environment, because the context is a scientific report.

It is complex because it involves the interaction of several packages like ...

begin{...} end {...} pair matching & highlighting in editors

Hi,

you could have a look at the small Ruby script match_parens . Perhaps you can extend it by \begin ... \end pairs.

Stefan

Great suggestion - only I'm a bit timid when it comes to programming - I must confess, I'm not a programmer. :(

Since the script quoted in the original post seems to be ...

begin{...} end {...} pair matching & highlighting in editors

Ok, so I often have to type large documents with a lot of nested environments.

I was hoping that latex editors would match and highlight begin{...} end {...} pairs but so far to my knowledge none offer this feature.

Now that I've created a mess of nesting and have lost track of my pairs, I'm in ...

Manual Package Installation

It used to be that if a package was missing or unavailable, my text editor TeXworks would display a prompt to retrieve it from the online package database, or to install it from a local source. Now that doesn't happen automatically. And I can't even find a manual install option. I put the .sty file ...
