For

\multirow{3}*{\minitab[c]{India \\ Canada}}

I get various error messages in the code below; whereas both

\multirow{3}*{India Canada}

and

\multirow{4}*{\minitab[c]{Common \\ g text}} & Column g2a\

just work.

I can't see what's wrong, plz help. Thank you!

Not sure why but mutirow doesn't seem to like tabulary's trial run so you can omit its content during the trial.

Actually it seems to be an interaction with threeparttable, it ends up trying to typeset the threepart table caption at the end of the inner table inside the multirow. So a better workaround which will allow tabulary to see and measure the inner table is to save the original definition of tabular and reset it for the nested table:

Put this in the preamble:

\let\xxx\tabular
\let\endxxx\endtabular

then

\multirow{3}*{%
\let\tabular\xxx
\let\endtabular\endxxx
\minitab[c]{India\\Canada}
}

  • Now I've got the \multirow cell crashing into the neighbouring cells (not in the MWE above, but in "the real thing"). Is there a way to have tabulary "measure" the longest line in the multirow? Or to manually specify: "tabulary, please use the length of {the longest line}" ? – nutty about natty Apr 19 '13 at 17:18
  • Or as an alternative idea (as I'll have an empty row between the data anyway): I could have {the longest line} in that empty row but "invisible" (how?). Maybe that would help? – nutty about natty Apr 19 '13 at 17:27
  • Just used \phantom{the longest line}, see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/4519/how-do-i-create-an-invisible-character, in the blank row and that did the trick for me. But maybe you have an alternative, better idea? – nutty about natty Apr 19 '13 at 17:35

  • the road to perfection (aka the road to perdition...): am having trouble now to make the left column align all the way to the left, see http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724318/ The price to pay for "too much" nesting? – nutty about natty Apr 20 '13 at 12:40
  • I guess I'd need to put @{} and {}@ "somewhere" into the header... – nutty about natty Apr 20 '13 at 12:52
  • SOLVED. \minitab[@{}l@{}]{India\\Canada} (in the document body) did the trick. :) – nutty about natty Apr 20 '13 at 13:06
