I am making a poster with baposter. When I want to make a table (put in \headerbox{}), I got error message:
! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H <return> for
immediate help.
...
l.219 }
! Undefined control sequence. \caption@ORI@xfloat ... \global \setbox @currbox
\color@vbox \normalcolor ...
l.219 }
! Missing number, treated as zero. <to be read again>
\vbox
l.219 }
If I remove \begin{table}[ht] and end{table} below, I got an array.
\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{equation*} \scalemath{0.8}{
\begin{array}{ | c | c | c | c | } \hline
dy & x & x^2 & x^3 \\ \hline
1 & \bullet & \bullet & \bullet \\ \hline
y & \bullet & \bullet & \bullet \\ \hline
y^2 & \times & \times & \times \\ \hline
\end{array} }
\end{equation*}
\end{table}
Do I need a special trick to make a table when I use baposter class?
Here is the code. You need baposter.cls.

tableinside a box and you're trying to use it in\headerbox. Why should you wanttable? – egreg Jun 21 '12 at 16:42tableenvironment. as you don't want it to float. Your code with that commented out is the correct thing to do. – David Carlisle Jun 21 '12 at 16:45
