如何设置具有基于表格布局的备忘单？

Question

我有大量数据，但记录较少，字段数量相对较少；为了举个例子，假设我有一个包含 x 千人的数据库，而我只保存了所有人的属性的相对较少的信息：姓名、年龄、3-4 行文本的简短简历等等。

我认为在纸上浏览的最佳布局是这样的

每个矩形都是一个包含所有信息的表格

现在是困难的部分：我完全不知道如何以合理的方式实现这一点；此外，涉及的文本量很少，但考虑到这种布局，所有内容的对齐和比例更为重要，例如，同一行中的所有表格都应将单元格的限制与给定字段占用的最大高度对齐（如图所示）。

您有针对此问题的软件包或解决方案吗？我通常使用 LatexLive 作为 LaTeX 实现。

Answer 1

可能不是您想要的，但是有一些代码会有所帮助。

\documentclass[a4paper,landscape]{article}

Answer 2

由于 OP 要求使用具有“重排”属性的常规网格布局，我建议使用栅格包的库tcolorbox。

tcbitemize它提供了一个类似于 的环境itemize。每个项目 ( \tcbitem) 都由 格式化tcolorbox，并且所有内容都以网格状布局排列。如果\tcbitem添加或删除一个，所有内容都会流到其适当的位置。

文本内容\tcbitem是任意的。可以为每个项目使用一个表格。由于 OP 的 MWE 不包含数据，因此我制作了一些由普通文本内容和一些tabularx表格混合而成的内容。输出按要求底部对齐。我添加了一些边框线和颜色以在视觉上区分项目。

Answer 3

正如上面的评论中所提到的，您对自己想要的东西只给出了一个非常粗略的描述。

这是另一种方法。我不确定你的意思是什么标记事情；所以，我猜。

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{pgfkeys}
\makeatletter

\newbool{mark by name}
\newbool{mark by job}

\def\ae@table@mark@item{}

\def\ae@table@mark@color{blue}

\pgfkeys{/ae/table/cell/.cd,
  person/.code=\ae@capture@person{#1},
  mark by/.is choice,
  mark by/name/.code={\booltrue{mark by name}},
  mark by/job/.code={\booltrue{mark by job}},
  mark if/.store in=\ae@table@mark@item,
  mark using/.store in=\ae@table@mark@color
  }

%% the user interface

\newcommand\populatetable[1]{%%

\pgfkeys{/ae/person/attributes/.cd,
  name/.store in=\ae@person@attribute@name,
  address/.store in=\ae@person@attribute@address,
  job/.store in=\ae@person@attribute@job,
  comments/.initial=,
  }

%% get the attribute you desire

\def\ae@get#1{\pgfkeys{/ae/person/attributes/#1}}

\def\ae@capture@person#1{%%

%% macro to present the information about an individual

\def\ae@test@mark#1{%%

        \def\ae@close@mark{\egroup}%%
      \else
      \fi
   }{}}


\makeatother

\begin{document}

\populatetable{%%
  mark by=name,
  mark if=John,
  mark using=red,
  person={name=John,
          job=baker,
          address=downtown},
  person={name=Emily,
          job=dentist,
          address=1030 Appleton Grove},
  person={name=Mandy,
          job=teacher,
          address=2439 Silly Name Road},
  person={name=John,
          job=baker,
          address=downtown},
  person={name=Emily,
          job=dentist,
          address=1030 Appleton Grove},
  person={name=Mandy,
          job=teacher,
          address=2439 Silly Name Road},
  person={name=John,
          job=baker,
          address=downtown},
  person={name=Emily,
          job=dentist,
          address=1030 Appleton Grove},
  person={name=Mandy,
          job=teacher,
          address=2439 Silly Name Road},
  }

\end{document}

结果如下：
