Best Answer

This document compiles if you add \\ after the \caption command, as in

\caption{This table shows the volatges and temperatures of the cell immediately before and immediately after cell failure}\\

[Tex/LaTex] How to make automatically line break when use longtable

You need p{5cm} the same as in tabular to specify a cell that works like \parbox. 6cm and the default inter-column space made a table wider than the page, so I reduced both. Also don't put longtable in a center environment.

If you edit a longtable (including changing c to p) it can take a few runs for all parts of the table to line up, which may account for your image.

[Tex/LaTex] Longtable – How to use it within a table environment

Since longtable is meant for pagebreaking, a floating table feature is not really useful here.

longtable is basically used like tabular, with column descriptions, additionally it allows for \caption inside of the longtable environment.

Page breaks can be forced with an 'ordinary' \newpage or prevented with \nopagebreak or \\*

I've used \newpage right before the Panel C table.

Since there's no real table header, I've omitted \endfirsthead etc.
