我有一张长表，其中有 50 个项目的解释（MWE 仅显示 9 个）。我认为这很难阅读。我该如何让它变得易于阅读？
\documentclass[10pt,cleardoublepage=empty,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper]{geometry}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{p{4.8cm} p{4.8cm}}
\caption{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, orci vivamus ac neque augue cras, pellentesque libero integer.}\\
\textsc{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}&\textsc{Lorem ipsum}\\
\midrule
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{(continued)}\\
\endhead
\endlastfoot
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, nec et quis dolor mi, nunc id laoreet velit elit sit orci. Pede vestibulum ac amet
&\textit{enean}\slash \textit{egestas}\\
pede vestibulum ac amet
&\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse sed euismod leo
&\textit{hasellus}\slash \textit{egestas}\\
pede vestibulum ac amet.
&\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper
&\textit{laoreet}\slash \textit{velit}\\
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse
&\textit{enean}\slash \textit{egestas}\\
mauris lectus vel nulla neque lectus vel nulla eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque
&\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}\\
mauris eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque
&\textit{cras}\slash \textit{enim}\\
sapien in sed. Sit lectus sed nullam, condimentum elit quae, morbi lacus nullam dictum libero convallis
&\textit{convallis}\slash \textit{Sit}\\
\end{longtable}
\end{document}
输出（摘录）：
我还有另一张桌子。你觉得它看起来比这张更好吗？
\documentclass[10pt,cleardoublepage=empty,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper]{geometry}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtable}{l l}
\caption{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh}\\
\textsc{Lorem Ipsum}&\textsc{Ament}\\
\midrule
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{(continued)}\\
\textsc{Semantic Category}&\textsc{Variable}\\
\midrule
\endhead
\endlastfoot
\multirow{3}{*}{consectetur eiusmod tempor}&\textit{dolor}/\textit{sit}\\ &\textit{ament}/\textit{sit}\\ &\textit{laboris}/\textit{explicabo}\\

\end{longtable}
\end{document}
答案1
第一个建议：增加行间距，使段落不会太拥挤。只需在序言中插入以下内容即可实现：
\usepackage{array}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
结果如下：
第二个建议是否可以交换列？在这种情况下，我会\hfill在较短的列中插入一个，以便使其与较长的列右对齐。即：
\begin{longtable}{>{\hfill}p{4.8cm}p{4.8cm}} % <----- here
\caption{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, orci vivamus ac neque augue cras, pellentesque libero integer.}\\
\textsc{Lorem ipsum} & \textsc{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}\\
\midrule
\endfirsthead
\caption[]{(continued)}\\
\endhead
\endlastfoot
\textit{enean}\slash \textit{egestas}
& aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, nec et quis dolor mi, nunc id laoreet velit elit sit orci. Pede vestibulum ac amet
\\
\textit{egestas}\slash \textit{condimentum}
& pede vestibulum ac amet
\\
[etc.]
\end{longtable}
导致：
最后，这个表格看起来像是一个描述列表。如果是这样，也许description环境是最好的选择。
答案2
基于避免使用所有软件包的一般原则，对我来说，这看起来更像是一个列表而不是一个表格，如下所示：
\documentclass[10pt,cleardoublepage=empty,twoside]{book}
\usepackage[a5paper]{geometry}
\usepackage[italian]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand*\descriptionlabel[1]{\hbox to \textwidth{\hspace\labelsep
\normalfont\bfseries\itshape #1}}
\begin{document}
\section*{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, orci vivamus ac neque augue cras, pellentesque libero integer}
\subsection*{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet}
\begin{description}
\item[enean\slash egestas]
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, nec et quis dolor mi, nunc id laoreet velit elit sit orci. Pede vestibulum ac amet
\item[egestas\slash condimentum]
pede vestibulum ac amet
\item[hasellus\slash egestas]
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse sed euismod leo
\item[egestas\slash condimentum]
pede vestibulum ac amet.
\item[laoreet\slash velit]
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper
\item[enean\slash egestas]
aenean ipsum enim egestas dui amet, ut condimentum ipsum vel arcu ullamcorper, ante voluptatem, suspendisse
\item[egestas\slash condimentum]
mauris lectus vel nulla neque lectus vel nulla eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque
\item[cras\slash enim]
mauris eget cras luctus enim pharetra, curabitur sed vitae, lectus vel nulla neque
\item[convallis\slash Sit]
sapien in sed. Sit lectus sed nullam, condimentum elit quae, morbi lacus nullam dictum libero convallis
\end{description}
\end{document}
