%% MIT Thesis class sample appendix with a long table %% version 1.05, 2026/07/27 \chapter{Multipage and sideways tables} \section{A multipage table of numbers} This example uses the \hrefurl{https://ctan.org/pkg/longtable}{\texttt{longtable}} package. The values in the table are the one-term coefficients for one-dimensional, transient heat conduction, $\theta = A_1 f_1 \exp(-\lambda_1^2\mkern2mu\mathrm{Fo})$, $\overline{\theta} = D_1 \exp(-\lambda_1^2\mkern2mu\mathrm{Fo})$. %% These four lines change the dcolumn to use text figures, instead of math figures. %% The reason is that some mitthesis font sets use different typefaces for text and math %% See: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/376127/119566 \makeatletter \newcolumntype{T}[3]{>{\textfont0 =\the\font\DC@{#1}{#2}{#3}}c<{\DC@end}} % https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/376127/119566 \newcolumntype{j}[1]{T{.}{.}{#1}} \makeatother {\footnotesize % read documentation of longtable package for info on setting up a long table % read documentation of array package and dcolumn package for info on column format specifiers \renewcommand{\doublerulesep}{0pt}% \newcolumntype{X}{>{\hspace{1ex}}c@{\hspace{2ex}}c@{\hspace{2ex}}c<{\hspace{1ex}}}% \begin{longtable}{|||j{3.2}|X|X|X|||} % j column type is def'd several lines above.
