[Tex/LaTex] How to center vertically content of the table

tablesvertical alignment

I have this table:

\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{x}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}

\begin{table}[ht]\footnotesize
\centering
\begin{tabular*}{0.95\textwidth }{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}|llllllllllllllll|x{0.15\textwidth}|}
\hline
\multicolumn{16}{|c|}{Small text} & Long text \\ \hline 
1 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 16 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 0.9636149 \\ \hline 
\end{tabular*}
\caption{Caption}
\label{tab:Example}
\end{table}

How to center "Small text"?

Best Answer

Change the p to m in your definition of the x column type:

\newcolumntype{x}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}

Full example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{x}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]\footnotesize
\centering
\begin{tabular*}{0.95\textwidth }{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}|llllllllllllllll|x{0.15\textwidth}|}
\hline
\multicolumn{16}{|c|}{Small text} & Long long long long long text \\ \hline 
1 & 5 & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 & 10 & 11 & 12 & 13 & 16 & 19 & 20 & 21 & 22 & 23 & 0.9636149 \\ \hline 
\end{tabular*}
\caption{Caption}
\label{tab:Example}
\end{table}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] tabu package – gaps in vertical lines

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

\documentclass[landscape]{letter}

\usepackage[utf8]     {inputenc}
\usepackage           {multirow}

\pagestyle{empty} %Remove numbering

\begin{document}
  \begin{tabu}{ |[1pt] l | l l | l | l |[1pt] }
                                                                                                                 \tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}
    \multicolumn{2}{ |[1pt] l }{ } & \multicolumn{3}{ |[1pt] l |[1pt]}{ }                                     \\                       \hline
    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } & \multicolumn{2}{  l |[1pt] }{ }   \\                       \hline

\hline
 x   &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\                       \hline
    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\                       \hline
    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\                       \hline
    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\ \tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}
  \end{tabu}
\end{document}

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.

[Tex/LaTex] How to vertically center content in a cell

Try:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{array,makecell}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}
    \begin{table}[htb]
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.5}
%    \setcellgapes{5pt}
%    \makegapedcells
    \caption{Local Area Network vs Wide Area Network.}
    \label{tab:lanvswan}
    \centering
\begin{tabular}{
    >{\centering\arraybackslash}m{3.5cm}% instead of "p" is "m"
    |>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{4.5cm}
    |>{\centering\arraybackslash}m{4.5cm}
    }
    \thead{Características}     & \thead{LAN}                           & \thead{WAN}                                                       \\  \hline
    Extensión Geográfica        & Pequeña                               & Extensa                                                           \\  \hline
    Dispositivos                & Host, Switches (L2 y L3) y Routers    & Especializados de ATM y Frame Relay, Switches (L3) y Routers      \\  \hline
    Tecnologías                 & Ethernet                              & MPLS, ATM, Frame Relay y X.25
\end{tabular}
    \end{table}
\end{document}

\makegapedcells is not compatible with m{...} column type, so instead gaped cells I suggest to increase \arraystretch, for example as it used in above MWE.
