Table Improvements

[elbotho]

Tables should be in the Beispielbuch

So we can check an improve them faster.

---

Tables should not use justified text

Especially the headings.

---

Tables with formulas / complex ones need more vertical space

For now we could do it manually or filter by formula usage or length of the table.

---

Tables break unnecessarily.

Again, a manual option would work.
Longer term we should use a higher penalty.

We can also split this issue.

Text justification -> b8d5a25

For vertical space, please look at 02f7ce4.

So much better!

Ok, nearly done.
@Lodifice could you provide example code how we could prevent a table from breaking manually?

[Lodifice]

This depends on what you want to achieve:

• to "push" the rest of the table to the next page, add pagebreak after the \\ in the line before
• to "push" the whole table to the next page, insert pagebreak before it
• to force the table to stay on one page, you have to change the penalties. An easy solution is described here, just copy the newenvironment thing and surround the table in begin{absolutelynopagebreak} ... end{absolutelynopagebreak}.

Perfect! Thanks for the detailed answer. This issue is basically on hiatus now.

@elbotho Done, right?

Done for LMU-Print, but still a problem with generated PDFs
