[Tex/LaTex] tabu package \end{tabu} error

tablestabu

ShareLaTex is 'finding' several errors occurring at the line \end{tabu}
I'm fairly new to latex and I'm struggling to spot what the problem is.

Any help would be appreciated, here is the code:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage[version=4]{mhchem}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{316 SS comp.}
\label{tab:316}
\rowcolors{1}{blue!5!white!95}{white}
\begin{tabu} to \textwidth {X[.2,l] X[.1,l] X[l]}
\rowfont\bfseries {{Element} & {wt\%} & {Isotopic Abundance}} \\[0.20em]
\small{Chromium} & 17.00 & \ce{^{52} Cr}(83.76\%),\ce{^{53} Cr}(9.55\%),\ce{^{50} Cr}(4.31\%),\ce{^{54} Cr}(2.38\%) \\[0.2em]
\\etc.....

\end{tabu}
\end{table}


\end{document}

You have to remove the braces in the title row spanning multiple columns:

\rowfont\bfseries {Element} & {wt\%} & {Isotopic Abundance} \\[0.20em]

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.

[Tex/LaTex] tabu: Error since update

I think this is the correct fix, if it survives some more testing I'll get tabu updated on ctan.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{xcolor}  
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\begin{varwidth}{0.91\linewidth}}l<{\end{varwidth}}}

\makeatletter
\def\tabu@verticalmeasure{\everypar{}%
\unless\ifnum\currentgrouptype=14 \let\tabu@currentgrouptype\currentgrouptype\fi
    \ifnum \tabu@currentgrouptype>12         % 14=semi-simple, 15=math shift group
        \setbox\tabu@box =\hbox\bgroup
            \let\tabu@verticalspacing \tabu@verticalsp@lcr
            \d@llarbegin                % after \hbox ...
    \else
        \edef\tabu@temp{\ifnum\tabu@currentgrouptype=5\vtop
                        \else\ifnum\tabu@currentgrouptype=12\vcenter
                        \else\vbox\fi\fi}%
        \setbox\tabu@box \hbox\bgroup$\tabu@temp \bgroup
            \let\tabu@verticalspacing \tabu@verticalsp@pmb
    \fi
}
\makeatother

\begin{document}    
\begin{tabu}{Lcc}
$\begin{pmatrix}
1 \\2\\3    
\end{pmatrix}$& 2& 3\\
\end{tabu}

\end{document}
