tablestabularxvertical alignment
I'd like to create a new column type which works exactly like a X column from tabularx but that also has the text vertically centered. I tried with the newcolumntype command but I can't figure out where to put the second column type? Example:
\newcolumntype{n}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
Where should I put the mto specify that the cells content should be vertically centered?
The tabularx documentation gives an explicit example of using an m column with small text
\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{>{\small}m{#1}}
Your column definition already adds \small so you just need to make X use m instead of p so
\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{m{#1}}
Both the package arrayand the the package tabularxredefine \\ in a slightly different way. I refer to tabularx-can’t-center-some-column for a more in depth explanation.
When defining the last column, you have to put in an \arraybackslash after the \centering-command, i.e.:
>{\centering\arraybackslash}X
Your table preamble will be:
\begin{tabularx}{19cm}{r >{\centering}X >{\centering}X%
>{\centering}X >{\centering}X >{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
Or you can use tabu:
\documentclass[11pt,oneside, landscape]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}
\linespread{1.05}\selectfont
\usepackage{graphicx,tabu}
\usepackage[dvipsnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{empty}
\newcommand{\tit}[1]{\fontsize{15}{17}\color{darkgray}\usefont{T1}{pplj}{b}{it}\selectfont #1}
\begin{document}
\tabulinesep=4pt
\begin{tabu}to 19cm{r X[c] X[c] X[c] X[c] X[c]}
\rowfont{\tit} & Lun & Mar & Mer & Gio & Ven \strut\\

\end{tabu}
\end{document}
