nestingtablestabularxvertical alignment
I have a tabularx table with:
Like so:
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{ | X | c | }
\lipsum[1-1]
&
\begin{tabular}{rl}
test&test\\
test&test\\
test&test\\
test&test\\
test&test\\
test&test\\
\end{tabular}
\end{tabularx}
Now the problem I have is that for some reason it looks like this:
And I want it to look like this:
How do I go about this?
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}}
The nested tabularx should be surrounded by { and }
\documentclass[10pt,notitlepage]{article}%
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}Y@{}}\hline
{\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}|Y|Y|Y|@{}}\hline
\href{foo/index.htm}{A}
\begin{enumerate}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\end{enumerate}&
\href{foo/index.htm}{B}&
\href{foo/index.htm}{C}\\\hline
\end{tabularx}}
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}
This is per the documentation. I found it by doing a search on nest in the documentation.
You should probably make a couple changes though. Using \textwidth within the inner tabularx is most likely going to result in columns being too wide. Instead use \linewidth. Here is a modified nested tabularx construction:
\documentclass[10pt,notitlepage]{article}%
\usepackage[margin=0.5in]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{@{}lY@{}}\hline
Hello &
{\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{@{}|Y|Y|Y|@{}}\hline
\href{foo/index.htm}{A}
\begin{enumerate}
\item item 1 \lipsum[1]
\item item 2
\end{enumerate}
&
\href{foo/index.htm}{B}
\lipsum[2]
&
\href{foo/index.htm}{C}
3:\lipsum[3] \\\hline
\end{tabularx}}
\end{tabularx}
\end{document}

You are aligning the top line of the paragraph with the centre of the tabular.
Use
so that the top line of the tabular is taken as the alignment point, which will then align with the top line of the paragraph in the first column.
