[Tex/LaTex] Table captions continued

captionslongtabletables

I am writing an article which has a long table with many rows. I would like to divide this table for multiple pages but I can not change the captions of these tables like "Table 1: Blablabla" and for the second page "Table 1 Continued: Blablabla" and so on. My MWE and its output.

I want to remove "Continued" from pages after the first.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[left=2.5cm,top=2.5cm,right=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,bindingoffset=0.1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!htb]
\centering
\caption {Some Members of the Suggested Estimator}
\label{Tab:1}
\smallskip
\begin{tabular}{c  c  c }
\toprule
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test1 & 1 & 0 \\
\midrule
test2 & 1 & 1 \\
\midrule
test3 & \newline 1 & \newline $\beta_{2} \left(x\right)$ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\begin{table}[!htbp]
\centering
\caption* {\textbf{Table 1 Continued:} Blablabla}
\smallskip
\begin{tabular}{c  c  c }
\toprule
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test4 & $C_{x} $ & $\rho_{yx} $ \\
\midrule
test5 & $\rho _{yx} $ & $C_{x} $ \\
\midrule
test6 & $\rho _{yx} $ \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Can anyone help me about it?

The package longtable allows you to define

a header for the first page by \endfirsthead
a header for all next pages by \endhead
a footer fo all pages expect the last one by \endfoot
a footer for the last page by \endlastfoot.

In your case you can do:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[paper=a6paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{ccc}
\caption {Some Members of the Suggested Estimator}\label{Tab:1}\\\toprule
\endfirsthead
\caption* {\textbf{Table \ref{Tab:1} Continued:} Blablabla}\\\toprule
\endhead
\endfoot
\bottomrule
\endlastfoot
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test1 & 1 & 0 \\
\midrule
test2 & 1 & 1 \\
\midrule
test3 & \newline 1 & \newline $\beta_{2} \left(x\right)$ \\
\midrule
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test4 & $C_{x} $ & $\rho_{yx} $ \\
\midrule
test5 & $\rho _{yx} $ & $C_{x} $ \\
\midrule
test6 & $\rho _{yx} $ \\
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test1 & 1 & 0 \\
\midrule
test2 & 1 & 1 \\
\midrule
test3 & \newline 1 & \newline $\beta_{2} \left(x\right)$ \\
\midrule
A subset of $\overline{y}_{NH}$ & $\textbf{a}$ & $\textbf{b}$\\
\midrule
test4 & $C_{x} $ & $\rho_{yx} $ \\
\midrule
test5 & $\rho _{yx} $ & $C_{x} $ \\
\midrule
test6 & $\rho _{yx} $ \\
\end{longtable}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] longtable: avoiding multiple captions

Use \endfirsthead to define the first table heading (including a \caption), and \endhead for all other headings. See section 3 of the longtable documentation for details.

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{longtable}
\begin{document}
\listoftables

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{5.0}
\begin{longtable}[htb]{|p{1in}|p{1in}|}
    \caption{my table}\\
    \hline 
    1 & 2 \\
    \endfirsthead
    \hline 
    1 & 2 \\
    \endhead
    \hline  a & b  \\ \hline c & d \\ \hline e & f \\
    \hline  a & b  \\ \hline c & d \\ \hline e & f \\
    \hline  a & b  \\ \hline c & d \\ \hline e & f \\
    \hline  a & b  \\ \hline c & d \\ \hline e & f \\
    \hline  a & b  \\ \hline c & d \\ \hline e & f \\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Three different captions: longtable

longtable has two settings for the headers of the table: \endfirsthead and \endhead. The contents of \endfirsthead will be saved in the save box \LT@firsthead and the contents of \endhead in \LT@head. If the box \LT@firsthead is empty, longtable uses the contents of \LT@head. The same procedure will be used for the footer. In the same way I defined a \endsecondhead

\def\endsecondhead{\LT@end@hd@ft\LT@secondhead}

To use this command I have to define a new save box which will be set only on the second page.

\newbox\LT@secondhead

To make sure that only on the second page this box will be used I have to manipulate the output of longtable. Therefore I use a simple \ifvoid clause.

\ifvoid\LT@secondhead
   \copy\LT@head\nobreak
\else
   \box\LT@secondhead\nobreak
\fi

\ifvoid tests whether the save box \LT@secondhead is empty or not. If you set a second head, the box will be printed by \box. This command prints the box and clears the box. So on the next page the test above is true. In this way you make sure that when no second head is defined the \endhead will be used.

To allow for more than three different headings you must define new save boxes and extend the test.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{forloop,longtable}
\newcounter{count}
\setcounter{count}{1}
\makeatletter
\newbox\LT@secondhead
\def\endsecondhead{\LT@end@hd@ft\LT@secondhead}
\def\LT@output{%
  \ifnum\outputpenalty <-\@Mi
    \ifnum\outputpenalty > -\LT@end@pen
      \LT@err{floats and marginpars not allowed in a longtable}\@ehc
    \else
      \setbox\z@\vbox{\unvbox\@cclv}%
      \ifdim \ht\LT@lastfoot>\ht\LT@foot
        \dimen@\pagegoal
        \advance\dimen@-\ht\LT@lastfoot
        \ifdim\dimen@<\ht\z@
          \setbox\@cclv\vbox{\unvbox\z@\copy\LT@foot\vss}%
          \@makecol
          \@outputpage
          \ifvoid\LT@secondhead
           \setbox\z@\vbox{\box\LT@head}%
          \else
           \setbox\z@\vbox{\box\LT@secondhead}%
          \fi
        \fi
      \fi
      \global\@colroom\@colht
      \global\vsize\@colht
      \vbox
        {\unvbox\z@\box\ifvoid\LT@lastfoot\LT@foot\else\LT@lastfoot\fi}%
    \fi
  \else
    \setbox\@cclv\vbox{\unvbox\@cclv\copy\LT@foot\vss}%
    \@makecol
    \@outputpage
      \global\vsize\@colroom
      \ifvoid\LT@secondhead
         \copy\LT@head\nobreak
      \else
         \box\LT@secondhead\nobreak
      \fi
  \fi}
\makeatother
