Example
Non-tabular icebergs have different shapes, with domes and spires. Icebergs are monitored worldwide by the U.S. National Ice Center (NIC). NIC produces analyses and forecasts of Arctic, Antarctic, Great Lakes, and Chesapeake Bay ice conditions. Diseases and injuries tabular index: 1. Infectious and parasitic diseases (001-139) 2. Neoplasms (140-239) 3. Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases,. Tabular This repo is a collection of useful code for automating processes within tabular modeling.

The tabular environment is the most basic way to create a table in LaTeX and doesn't require any other packages.
The parameter (|lcr|| in the example) is called the table specification and tells LaTeX how many columns there are and how they are supposed to be formatted. Each letter represents a single column. Possible values are:
| Character | Meaning |
|---|---|
| l | left aligned column |
| c | centered column |
| r | right aligned column |
p{'width'} e.g. p{5cm} | paragraph column with defined width |
| | (pipe character) | vertical line |
| || (2 pipes) | 2 vertical lines |
Cells are seperated by the & character. A row is ended by 2 back slashes .
Horizontal lines can be inserted by using the hline command.
Tabular Data
Tables are always formatted to be wide enough to include all the content. If a table is to big, LaTeX will print overfull hbox warnings. Possible solutions include using the p{'width'} specifier or other packages like tabularx.
Tabular Presentation
A table with column headings spanning over several columns can be created using the command multicolumn{cols}{pos}{text}.
Note that the command multicolumn has three mandatory arguments: the first argument specifies the number of columns over which the heading spans; the second argument specifies the position of the heading(l,c,r); and the third argument is the text for heading. The command cline{2-4} specifies the the starting column(here, 2) and ending column(here, 4) over which a line is to be drawn.
