[Tex/LaTex] Problem with too large table

line-breakingtables

I'm trying to make a large table with latex, but I have a problem with text inside it, it depasses, the page.

here the code :

 \begin{table*} \centering
 \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\stretch{2}}}*{2}{l}@{}}  
 \toprule
 Source & La commission de contrôle procède à une véritable évaluation  des   conséqu-   \\  & ences sur l'investissement public.\\
 \hline
     Cible & The control commitee carries out a true evaluation of the  impact on public  \\  & investment. \\ \hline  Référence  & The
 control commitee carries out a true evaluation of the impact on gove- 
 \\ & rnment investment. \\ \hline

 %\textsc{Trig-seq}${_{m-n}}_{sel}$ & it must take into account the
 fact that insurance companies \textbf{need} \\ & \textbf{of of} some
 time.  \\ \hline ${Trig_{m-n}}_{(k)} + ML$    &  The control commitee
 carries out a true assessment of the impact on pu- \\  & blic
 investment \\ \hline  ${Trig_{m-n}}_{(k)}$ &  The control commitee
 process to a true assessment of the impact on pu- \\  & blic
 investment \\ \hline   ${Trig_{m-n}}_{(sel)} + ML$  & The control
 commitee procède to a true evaluation of the conséquences on   \\ &
 public investment.  \\ \hline         ${Trig_{m-n}}_{(sel)}$  & The
 control commitee procède to a correct evaluation of the conséquences  
 \\ & on government investment.  \\ \hline                     \toprule
 \end{tabular*}  \caption{Exemple de traductions d'une phrase issue du
 corpus \textsc{Europarl} avec les différents modèles de
 traduction\label{exemple}} \end{table*}

Here attached the image of the resulting table

Any idea to help me please?

Cheers

Use a tabularx:

\documentclass[a4paper,french]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[showframe]{geometry} 
\usepackage{babel} 
\usepackage{tabularx,booktabs}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!htb]
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}l X @{}}  \toprule
Source & La commission de contrôle procède à une véritable évaluation  des   
conséquences sur l'investissement public.\\\hline
Cible & The control commitee carries out a true evaluation of the  impact on public 
investment. \\ \hline  
Référence  & The control commitee carries out a true evaluation of the impact on 
government investment. \\ \hline

\textsc{Trig-seq}${_{m-n}}_{sel}$ & it must take into account the
fact that insurance companies \textbf{need} \textbf{of of} some time.  \\ \hline 
${Trig_{m-n}}_{(k)} + ML$    &  The control commitee
carries out a true assessment of the impact on public investment \\ \hline  
${Trig_{m-n}}_{(k)}$ &  The control commitee
process to a true assessment of the impact on public investment \\ \hline   
${Trig_{m-n}}_{(sel)} + ML$  & The control commitee procède to a true evaluation of 
the conséquences on public investment.  \\ \hline         
${Trig_{m-n}}_{(sel)}$  & The control commitee procède to a correct evaluation 
of the conséquences  on government investment.  \\ \bottomrule
\end{tabularx}

\end{table}

[Tex/LaTex] LaTeX table frustratingly too wide

I recommend the tabu* package for easy control of variable-width columns. In the definition X[4,l] which I have chosen for your first column, the relative width of the column is 4 (i.e. it is twice as wide as the second column), and cell alignment is left**. You can adjust the table width as desired by replacing to \textwidth with e.g. to 10cm.

In addition, I've inserted the tabular into a ThreePartTable environment to allow for table notes (footnotes), and increased \arraystretch to achieve a more pleasant line spacing. You might want to consider the booktabs package for additional style recommendations.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{threeparttablex}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\begin{ThreePartTable}
\begin{tabu} to \textwidth {|   X[4,l] 
                                X[2,l] 
                                X[3,l]<{\strut} 
                                X[3,l]<{\strut}
                            |}
    \hline
     & Gene & Protein & Disease \\
\hline
    Soluble lysozomal enzyme deficiencies & CLN10 (CTSD)  & Cathepsin D & Congenital\tnote{*}, LINCL, JNCL, ANCL \\
     & CLN1 & Palmitoyl protein thioesterase 1 (PPT1) & INCL\tnote{*}, LINCL, JNCL, ANCL \\
     & CLN2 & Tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) & LINCL, JNCL \\\hline
    Non-enzyme deficiencies & CLN3 & Transmembrane protein & JNCL\tnote{*} \\
     & CLN5 & Soluble; lysosomal & LINCL, JNCL, ANCL \\
     & CLN6 & Transmembrane protein; ER & LINCL, ANCL Kuf's Type A \\
     & CLN7 (MSFD8) & Transmembrane protein; Endolysosomal transporter & LINCL \\
     & CLN8 & Transmembrane protein; ER & LINCL \\
    \hline
\end{tabu}
\begin{tablenotes}
    \item[*] indicates main form of NCL associated with the gene
\end{tablenotes}
\caption{Classification of NCLs by CLN gene affected}
\label{table1}
\end{ThreePartTable}
\end{table} 

\end{document}

*According to my knowledge, you cannot use \multirow with tabu, however if my answer is close to what you want to achieve, that doesn't seem to be a restriction.

**A\strut needs to be inserted in columns that contain cells determining the row height to prevent incorrect spacing.

[Tex/LaTex] bibliography problem large spacing

Try loading the url package with the option hyphens. Loading this package with this option will allow line breaks to occur after hyphens in the url string. A full MWE might be (assuming the .bib file is named test.bib) as follows:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[hyphens]{url}
\bibliographystyle{unsrtnat}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*} 
\bibliography{test} % assumes that bib file is named "test.bib"
\end{document}
