Thank you for these videos. Before I was using texmaker and switched to overleaf this semester because of the spell checker. This is only my second semester using latex, so it's still early days; your videos help a lot :^).
Although I solely type in Latex, the tables are quite cumbersome. I ussually use some online table editors which then give you the code to copy to your main document.
Interesting choice for number formatting. I tend to always put numbers in math mode (between $$) and for the thousand separator I just use a small space (\,).
really cool video, helped me a lot with my physics homework. Looking forward to my next few projects it would be nice if you could do a tutorial on using .csv data (for combined usage of python and latex) and making automatic tables. (if thats possible anyways😅 Thank you keep up!
tabu should not be used as it is now completely broken. but tabularray and nicematrix should really get a mentions these days. Also formatting number columns with siunitx.
@@DrTrefor I have to admit that it had been a conundrum of mine how to teach tables in latex. But I think I have settled to bypassing the original tabular and go straight for tabularray and the like, teaching what good tables should look like first and then how to do them. I find the former more important as people usually come from the Word/excel way for doing thing which, in the academic world is not the best way of doing things. One can then introduce more fancy table layout with colours and so on for presentations and posters. I guess it really depends on your usage and your audience. Tabularray also had the advantage of allowing you to fully separate the content from the presentation which fit very well in with the LaTeX way of doing things.

Some things I'd love to see in a future video if you have some thoughts about them: Making tables is a fragile nightmare! Is there a better way to make fast tables? Ideally you could just write some command, enter space- or comma-separated values, with line-breaks, and it will make a basic table (and maybe even control the styling of it in some style sheet or something). Even better if one could use tabs or other whitespace to accomplish easy and fast visual alignment of the columns. That probably doesn't exist, but if you know of anything that approximates it, would love to hear it. Also, how would you make macros for, say, matrices with a varying number of dimensions? Can you make macros for diagrammatic stuff? Like say you are going to make a document with a bunch of geometry constructions and they're all visually similar and require similar commands -- could you make a macro designed to make it quicker and easier to churn out a bunch of diagrams? And then say that you want to make a bunch of group lattices, could you then write a macro that makes this especially quick too?
Thank you , Sir for this nice tutorial .I have a little request for you. It would be really helpful if you make a video on William Feller's solution for the St. Petersburg Paradox. And also a full course on probability and statistics.
Hi there I have a problem while writing some data in table as : I created 8*8 table in portait . Then merged first 8 columns (in 1st row) Merged 4 columns | merged 4 columns ( in 2nd row) Merege 2 columns | merged 2 columns | merged 2 columns | merged 2 columns. ( In third row) But when I want to write something beneath already written content in any pd the above mentioned row . It keeps on extending the row size . Also it gives error on using \parbox command .
Perfect! Thanks a million! Just one question though which the video didn't address - How do I make a row-wise table in LaTeX ? By that I mean the headings should be in the rows instead of columns. Thanks.
Still trying to figure out how to put curly brackets above or below certain columns with eg. \underbrace{ (..} ) with \multicolumn but still have not found a good adjustable example in past searches.
Sir, how do you reduce empty space between text and figures / tables in Overleaf? Spacing between captions and spacing between images and text is my biggest nightmare and very grateful for any hints on these. Thank you very much
When I'm using xcolor package for tables (\usepackage[table]{xcolor}), the others things in report that need xcolor package are showing errors....what should I do?
Yeah, I'm watching all your LaTeX videos and none of the substantial math ones because ... I can just casually watch these and learn a bunch of useful stuff without effort -- in fact, I'm watching them while I study some other math topics! The substantial videos are probably more valuable, but you have to really make an effort to learn math, and can't just let them play in the background and tune in and out casually.
Much awaited video! I can't thank you enough for the LaTeX tutorial series, Dr. Trefor. 👏🙌
You're very welcome!
I've watched many of your LaTeX tutorials and now I'm comfortable to write my homework in it :)
Thank you for these videos. Before I was using texmaker and switched to overleaf this semester because of the spell checker. This is only my second semester using latex, so it's still early days; your videos help a lot :^).
Thanks a lot for this great and useful video. Looking forward to more videos on the beauty of Latex and Overleaf
I'm just writing this message to tell you're a god among youtubers. Your content is 10/10. Ty sir
Thank you so much!
New Latex Video! Perfect start to Monday.
This playlist series has been great for me and my students, thank you!
Great to hear!
your videos are really great!!!! waiting for next
Not sure if you know the package, but I find booktabs to be super helpful. 👍
Great video. I learned I didn't understand something corr8 that I was using. I also learned new things. Thank you for this help.

Which online table editors do you reccomend?

Oh yes, I typically do as well, this was only for trying to minimize text on the screen as that wasn't the part I was focusing on.
really cool video, helped me a lot with my physics homework.

My english sucks, but bro, i understood you better than any other youtube tutorial
best video on tables I have seen
Very useful!! Thanks 👊🤗🤗

Good suggestions, thank you!

Hello. ChatGPT. Bye.

Thanks for these awesome videos :D
Hi there
I have a problem while writing some data in table as :
I created 8*8 table in portait .
Then merged first 8 columns (in 1st row)
Merged 4 columns | merged 4 columns ( in 2nd row)
Merege 2 columns | merged 2 columns | merged 2 columns | merged 2 columns. ( In third row)
But when I want to write something beneath already written content in any pd the above mentioned row . It keeps on extending the row size .
Also it gives error on using \parbox command .
What about a really long table that is bigger than one page? Will that make an error? Thanks for the video
I linked a guide in the description that covers this issue
@@DrTrefor thanks u man
For "multiple row" example,
How to separate 5, 6 from 8, 9 by a horizontal line that doesn't goes through "A multiple row" ?
if you are still interested you can do this by using \cline{x-y} where x is the first row you want the line and y the last row.
If I put graphics inside a table, they are always adjusted to the baseline, even if I put p in the definition. How can I fix it?
Really helpful. Thank you so much

La documentación de overleaf me recomendó estos tutoriales.
very helpfull video sir
Sir, how do you reduce empty space between text and figures / tables in Overleaf? Spacing between captions and spacing between images and text is my biggest nightmare and very grateful for any hints on these. Thank you very much
Thanks all these videos. I need to create a table which has pictures in it would you help me please
When I'm using xcolor package for tables (\usepackage[table]{xcolor}), the others things in report that need xcolor package are showing errors....what should I do?
I have a doubt regarding list of figures in tabular format, also which supports subfigures.
is there a way to centre the 'a' aswell, after you change the width of the column ?
Hi , how I can insert picture in a cell table , thank , if there is a full lesson in PDF format handle me it ,
❤
i would like to know how to make a table of full page width in two column texts
How can I write angstrom symbol in overleaf? Please help me, thank you so much.😓😓😓
Muito bom esse tutorial. Parabéns!
Could you make a video about citations?
This may sound like a stupid question, but how do you get Overleaf?
just go to overleaf.com! It's free too unless you need premium features
Sir, write a book of all formulas of math in a whole video. It will be great.
Can somebody tell me 1) how to do table with width equal textwidth 2) how to do vertical and horizontal alignment in cell
how to include pipe line to add column
Thank you Professor. Can we import table from excel and rstudio into LaTex format?
Yes, it is possible, if You use online generators (Excel for sure) 😁
Rounded corners!
very helpful
How can I enter a numbered equation in a table? :')

booktabs
Ya this is a great extra package for sure
@@DrTrefor Also tabularray is a wonderful new package that allows literally anything when it goes to tables and it is also easier to work with.
In my opinion, creating tables in LaTeX is one of the most painful things... In 80% I use online generators ☹️ So I hope, that Your movie will help 😁
Isn t it stupidly easier to do a table in excel and paste it in as image? 🤔
8:23 how convenient that you never tell how to put the line back in the other two columns....
