I have a long, skinny table that's likely going to end up spanning multiple pages that I'm using the longtable environment for. I want to have this placed on the left-hand side of my document, and to have the main text of my document on the same page to the right of my document. In other words, I want my final PDF to end up looking something like this
------------- Pellentesque dapibus suscipit ligula.
| Cell 1 | Donec posuere augue in quam. Etiam
| multiline | vel tortor sodales tellus ultricies
| cell | commodo. Suspendisse potenti.
------------- Aenean in sem ac leo mollis blandit.
***************** PAGE BREAK **************************
------------- Nullam eu ante vel est convallis
| Cell 2 | Donec neque quam, dignissim in, mollis
| Different | nec, sagittis eu, wisi. Phasellus
| number of | lacus. Etiam laoreet quam sed arcu.
| lines | Phasellus at dui in ligula mollis
------------- ultricies. Integer placerat tristique
| Cell 3 | nisl. Praesent augue. Fusce commodo.
------------- Vestibulum convallis, lorem a tempus
semper, dui dui euismod elit, vitae placerat urna
tortor vitae lacus. Nullam libero mauris, consequat
quis, varius et, dictum id, arcu. Mauris mollis
tincidunt felis. Aliquam feugiat tellus ut neque.
Nulla facilisis, risus a rhoncus fermentum, tellus
tellus lacinia purus, et dictum nunc justo sit amet
elit.
How can I go about accomplishing this using org-mode to export to Latex?
Edit: Upon request from a commenter, here is something around what I want in pure Latex:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
\begin{wrapfigure}{l}{0.25\textwidth}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|p{0.2\textwidth}|}
\hline
Content 1 \\
Content 2 \\
Content 3 \\
\hline \\
Content 4 \\
Content 5 \\
Content 6 \\
Content 7 \\
\hline \\
Content 8 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1-3]
\end{document}
longtable
to the specification and see what it comes up with. Thetabular
above limits it to tables that fit on one page. And I'm not at all sure thatwrapfigure
will be able to deal with the long table. But who knows? It might surprise us (I must admit I'm impressed).wraptable
environment aroundlongtable
but AFAICT that does not work: the table is not split AFAICS. My suggestion to ask the question (sans Org mode stuff) on TeX SE still stands.
