[Tex/LaTex] Misplaced \noalign \hline

errorsrules

Unfortunately I cannot solve the error with \noalign on my own:

\begin{document}
\noindent  \LARGE{\textbf{John Smith}}  \\
\vspace{-2ex} 
\hline 
\normalsize

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l l}
Name of University    & \hspace{1in} \href{mailto:john.smith@email.com}     {john.smith@email.com} \\
Department/Institution    & \hspace{1in}  \href{www.johnsmith.com} {www.johnsmith.com}   \\
Address             & \hspace{1in} Skype: \Absender  \\
City Name, State 12345-6789 & \hspace{1in} Phone: +1 (123) 456-7899 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

I don't understand how to solve this.

Best Answer

Use \hrulefill outside tabular environment for horizontal line and for a constant space in a table column, give it in the declaration line as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\noindent  \LARGE{\textbf{John Smith}} 

\noindent\hrulefill 

\normalsize

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l @{\hskip1in}l}
Name of University    &  \href{mailto:john.smith@email.com}     {john.smith@email.com} \\
Department/Institution    &   \href{www.johnsmith.com} {www.johnsmith.com}   \\
Address             &  Skype: Absender  \\ %%removed \ from \Absender
City Name, State 12345-6789 &  Phone: +1 (123) 456-7899 \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{document}

\hline is for use within tabular, perhaps you want \hrule.

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\usepackage{fullpage, graphicx, url}
\usepackage{dsfont}
\begin{document}

$ \mathds{C}$

\hrule

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] “misplaced \noalign” error and missing column separator in “\tabular” environment

You need braces in \begin{document}.
You have three columns, but {l p{2cm} | c p{3cm} | c p{2cm} |} tells tabular to expect six.
You need \\ at the end of the first and last rows.

EDIT

To adjust the alignment of the text inside a p column, you can use \centering, \raggedleft and \raggedright inside the table entries. Note that you need braces if you do this in the final column. To change the alignment for an entire column, you can use the array package, as suggested by @Bernard in the comments.

\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{p{2cm}|p{3cm}|p{2cm}|}
\hline
\centering First Column Description & \raggedright Second Column Description & {\raggedleft Third Column Description} \\
\hline
\hline
First Column First Row Contents & Second Column First Row Contents & Third Column First Row Contents \\[3pt]
\hline
First Column Second Row Contents & Second Column Second Row Contents & Third Column Second Row Contents \\[3pt]
\hline
First Column Third Row Contents & Second Column Third Row Contents & Third Column Third Row Contents \\[3pt]
\hline
First Column Fourth Row Contents & Second Column Fourth Row Contents & Third Column Fourth Row Contents \\[3pt]
\hline
First Column Fifth Row Contents & Second Column Fifth Row Contents & Third Column Fifth Row Contents \\[3pt]
\hline
First Column Sixth Row Contents & Second Column Sixth Row Contents & Third Column Sixth Row Contents \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
