Overview

Adding Parts to this Simple Table

The Great Tables package makes it relatively easy to add components so that the resulting output table better conveys the information you want to present. These table components work well together and the possible variations in arrangement can handle even the most demanding table presentation needs. The previous output table we showed had only two components: the Column Labels and the Table Body. The next few examples will show all of the other table parts that are available.

This is the way the main parts of a table (and their subparts) fit together:

The components (roughly from top to bottom) are:

• the Table Header (optional; with a title and possibly a subtitle)
• the Stub and the Stub Head (optional; contains row labels, optionally within row groups having row group labels)
• the Column Labels (contains column labels, optionally under spanner labels)
• the Table Body (contains columns and rows of cells)
• the Table Footer (optional; possibly with one or more source notes)
