In my master's thesis I have a lot of tables, large and long;
what's the best practice to fit them ?
It would be fine split the longer table in multiple pages?
what about the larger ones?
any advice will be appreciated
UPDATE
here an example of a large table
\begin{table}[H]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|r|}
\hline HTTP Date & Time zone & Time shift & Timestamp \\
\hline Tue, 02 Jun 2015 20:33:31 GMT & America/Chicago & -6 & June 2nd 2015, 22:19:31.929 \\
\hline Sun, 14 Jun 2015 11:33:46 GMT & America/Denver & -7 & June 14th 2015, 13:19:07.193 \\

Best Answer
You can use the
ltablex
package, which loads bothtabularx
andlongtable
. What makes the table a little too wide is the head of the 3th column, which I circumvent with a\makebox[0pt]
command.
