[Tex/LaTex] Start a longtable in Latex at top of next page

Question

I want to use the longtable environment for a table. However, I do not know how to place it at the top of the next page, as I can do with the table environment. Do you know how to do it?

Answer 1

You could use the afterpage package and its command \afterpage to defer typesetting of the longtable environment to the top of the next page.

\documentclass{article} % or whatever document class you use
... % rest of preamble
\usepackage{afterpage}  % load the afterpage package
\usepackage{longtable}  % load the longtable package
\begin{document}
... % stuff
\afterpage{%
   % Contents of "longtable" environment:
   \begin{longtable}
   ...
   \end{longtable}
}% end of scope of afterpage directive 
... % remainder of document
\end{document}
