I am having some issues with formatting the below table.
The first issue: It is not positioning after the text and instead is starting on a new page despite the positioning !htbp.
The second issue: The table is large but it is not breaking over to the second page. I am unsure about why this is happening.
Any advice would be great!
\textit{Table 2} outlines the structure of this document

\caption {Document Structure} \label{tab:Document Structure}
\begin{xltabular}{\textwidth}{|X|}
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter One: Introduction} \\ \hline
This chapter will introduce the project and provide the,reader with context of the subject along with the reasons for undertaking the,project and an outline of the project contents. \\
\hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Two: Literature Review} \\ \hline
This chapter will review current literature surrounding,the subjects of this project this will explore the current systems and,theoretical systems that form the basis for this project. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Three: Technology Review} \\ \hline
Throughout this chapter will provide a review of the,technology used in current systems and the technology that will be used for,the proposed system. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Four: Analysis of Current Systems} \\ \hline
In this chapter a comparison of current systems will be,provided to form a platform from which to model the proposed system. This comparison,will be used to model the functionality of the system and methodology used,for testing the system. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Five: System Analysis and Requirements} \\ \hline
In this chapter the base functionality for the proposed system,will be discussed and a draft of its implementation will be provided in the,form of system and communication diagrams. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Six: Use Cases} \\ \hline
Throughout this chapter some examples of use cases will be given. these use cases will for the basis for the modeling of system functionality going forward with the project. For the purpose of this project three use cases will be given. chapter,five. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Seven: System Design} \\ \hline
Throughout this chapter the system implementation will be,described and discussed based on the findings from chapter four and chapter,five. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Eight: Software} \\ \hline
This chapter will discuss the software and how it was,constructed with reference to functionality and system requirements discussed,in previous chapters. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Nine: Implementation} \\ \hline
In this chapter the implementation and integration of the,software into the hardware environment will be discussed with further,reasoning into the choices made on both software modelling and hardware,choices for this project. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Ten: System Testing} \\ \hline
Throughout this chapter a set of test methods will be discussed,,and results of these tests will be displayed. The chosen test method for this,project is user interaction dialogues. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Eleven: Evaluation} \\ \hline
This chapter will include a critical evaluation of the,system as well as any changes and limitations that were experienced along,with how these limitations were dealt with and how the project was adapted to,these changes. \\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{Chapter Twelve: Conclusion} \\ \hline
In this chapter a conclusion will be drawn, and a review,of the objectives will be carried out to determine if the project achieved the, aims that were set out for it. \\ \hline

Best Answer
From looking at the example text that you have there, it looks to me like we are in the document structure part of your report/thesis.
Given the question, I would suggest
longtableandbooktabsfor what you are trying to accomplish.Longtable allow you to span multiple pages and booktabs give you some nice control over rules.
This should give you the following outcome:
