Tables Tabularray – How to Prevent Tabularray from Exceeding Linewidth

tablestabularray

I'm using tabularray to create a table with various colspans and rowspans. The table has width = \linewidth and colspec = {|X[1]|X[1]|X[2]|}, but it exceeds the linewidth, and the column width X requests are not obeyed:

table

How can I get the table to stick to the linewidth, and to respect the column widths I've given?

Minimum working example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{makecell}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage{pgffor, etoolbox}

% headers and footers
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{} % clear existing header/footer entries
\fancyhead[C]{\footnotesize test}

\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{tblr}{
    width = \linewidth,
    colspec = {|X[1]|X[1]|X[2]|}
}
%\begin{tblr}{|p{0.2\linewidth}|p{0.2\linewidth}|p{0.4\linewidth}|}
    \hline
    \SetCell[c=3]{c} \textbf{DOCUMENTATION INFORMATION PAGE} & &
    \\
    \hline
    \textbf{1. DATE} \newline date & \textbf{2. DOCUMENT TYPE} \newline document type & \textbf{3. DOCUMENT NUMBER / REV} \newline document number \space document version
    \\
    \hline
    \SetCell[c=2]{l} \textbf{4. Title \newline title } & & \textbf{5. PROJECT CODE} \newline project code
    \\
    \hline
    \SetCell[c=2]{l} \textbf{6. AUTHOR} \newline author & & \textbf{7. CUSTOMER} \newline customer
    \\
    \hline
    \SetCell[c=2,r=2]{l} {
        \textbf{8. CONTACT ADDRESS} \\
        Lorem \\
        Ipsum \\
        Dolor \\
        Sit \\
        Amet
    }
    &
    &
    \textbf{9. CONTACT PHONE} \newline telephone number \vspace{0.4em}
    \\
    \hline
    &
    &
    \textbf{10. CONTACT EMAIL} \newline author email
    \\
    \hline
    \SetCell[c=2]{l} \textbf{11. TELEPHONE NUMBER} \newline telephone number
    &
    &
    \textbf{12. NAME OF RESPONSIBLE PERSON} \newline author
    \\
    \hline
\end{tblr}

Best Answer

Don't mix syntax from classic tables with tabularray ones: instead \newline you should use \\.

Edit: Better spacin of cells' text you will get, if you will change `colspec˙ to:

colspec = {X[0.9, l,h] X[1.1, l,h] X[2,l,h]},

Considering this in previous MWE version gives

Corrected MWE is:

\documentclass{article}
%---------------- show page layout. don't use in a real document!
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewcommand\ShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
\renewcommand*\ShowFrameColor{\color{red}}
%---------------------------------------------------------------%
\usepackage{lipsum}% For dummy text. Don't use in a real document
