在数组中插入文本行

Question

我正在寻找一种（干净的）方法来在以下情况下保持文本对齐：

thesis under the direction of:    
[tab] Title [&] Name [&] University    
with the supervision of:    
[tab] Title [&] Name [&] University    
[tab] Title [&] Name [&] University    
[tab] Title [&] Name [&] University

到目前为止，我发现的（肮脏的）方法是凭经验固定第一列和第二列的宽度。这是一个 MWE

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}

\vspace*{\fill}

\noindent{\emph{thesis under the direction of}}\\[.3cm]
\hspace*{.4cm}\begin{tabular}{p{.1\textwidth}p{.4\textwidth}l}
Title & First Name Last Name  &  University A\\
\end{tabular}

\vspace*{.5cm}

\noindent{\emph{with the supervision of}}\\[.3cm]
\hspace*{.4cm}\begin{tabular}{p{.1\textwidth}p{.4\textwidth}l}
Title & First Name Last Name &  University B\\
Title & First Name Last Name &  University C\\
\end{tabular}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

我只是好奇想知道是否有一种更清洁、更系统的方法来做到这一点？

谢谢！

Answer 1

可以使用吗tabbing？

\begin{tabbing}
\emph{thesis under the direction of} \\
\hspace{.4cm} \= Longest Title \= Longest First Name Last Name \= Longest University A \kill
\> Title \> First Name Last Name \> University A \\[.5cm]
\pushtabs
\emph{with the supervision of} \\
\poptabs
\> Title \> First Name Last Name \> University B \\
\> Title \> First Name Last Name \> University C \\
\end{tabbing}

（这里不需要\pushtabs和命令，但在其他情况下可能会有用。）\poptabs

Answer 2

由于您愿意为每列指定最长的条目，因此您可以定义一个宏将文本放在适当大小的框内以产生：

使用\parbox表示大学名称，这样名称会更长。此段落的宽度设置为 所占的宽度Longest University。

代码：

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{calc}

\newcommand*{\Attribution}[3]{%
    \par\noindent%
    \hspace*{0.5cm}% control leading indent
    \makebox[\widthof{Longest Title}][l]{#1}%
    \makebox[\widthof{Longest First Name Last Name}][l]{#2}%
    \parbox[t]{\widthof{Longest University}}{#3}%
}%

\begin{document}
\noindent
\emph{thesis under the direction of:} 
\Attribution{Title}{First Last}{University A}

\bigskip
\noindent
\emph{with the supervision of:}
\Attribution{Title}{First Name Last Name}{University A}
\Attribution{Title}{First Name Last Name}{University B}
\Attribution{Title}{First Name Last Name}{University C}
\Attribution{Title}{First Name Last Name}{University with a really long name}
\end{document}
