[Tex/LaTex] How to use deluxetable.sty

deluxetablephysicsreporttablestutorials

I'm writing a lab report and it was recommended to use the deluxetable package, which is used by physics journals, etc. Despite the popularity of it, I am having trouble finding any tutorial on it. Can anyone briefly explain how to use deluxetable, i.e the structure and options available?

Thank you.

The structure is similar to a regular table with a few exceptions such as column headers.

A simple table:

\documentclass{amsart}

\usepackage{deluxetable}

\begin{document}

\begin{deluxetable}{cccccccc}

\tabletypesize{\footnotesize}
\tablewidth{0pt}

 \tablecaption{ Sample Title \label{tab:sample}}

 \tablehead{
 \colhead{Head 1} & \colhead{Head 2} & \colhead{Head 3} & \colhead{Head 4}& \colhead{Head 5} & \colhead{Head 6} &\colhead{Head 7}& \colhead{Head 8}
 }

 \startdata 

 sample 1 & sample 2 & sample 3 & sample 4 & sample 5 & sample 6 & sample 7 & sample 8\\

 \enddata

 \vspace{-0.5cm}
 \tablecomments{sample comment}

\end{deluxetable}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to use biber

Here is a MWE (not really minimum, but showing some options) that should get you started. Other possible values for the biblatex options are described in the biblatex documentation.

\documentclass[]{article}

\usepackage[autostyle]{csquotes}

\usepackage[
    backend=biber,
    style=authoryear-icomp,
    sortlocale=de_DE,
    natbib=true,
    url=false, 
    doi=true,
    eprint=false
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\usepackage[]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{
    colorlinks=true,
}

%% ##############################
\begin{document}
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet~\citep{kastenholz}.
    At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum~\citet{sigfridsson}.
    \printbibliography 
\end{document}

To compile you should now call pdflatex, biber, pdflatex.
biber operates on the .bcf file, so either use biber %.bcf or (even better) just biber %, where % stands for the basename of your main .tex file.

biblatex-examples.bib is a file that comes with your TeX distribution, you can find it at TEXMF/bibtex/bib/biblatex.biblatex-examples.bibor online. It can be used for testing. Use a different filename for your own .bib file.

The natbib=true option allows you to use citep and citet style citations in you text. This is mainly for compatibility with old code. For new code, use \textcite{} and \parencite{} instead. biblatex knows some more cite commands like \autocite{} or \footcite{}. These are described in the biblatex documentation.
