使用 xtabular 跨越多列和多页的表格

Question

我想要一个时间线，如果长度大于页面，它将首先作为同一页面的第二列继续，如果需要，将继续到下一页的第一列，依此类推......

以下是解决方案基于这答案，但这个解决方案并不完全符合我的要求。在第一个链接中，有人建议可以使用 xtabular 来实现这一点。

以下是我目前所取得的成就：

\DeclareCaptionFont{blue}{\color{LightSteelBlue3}}

\newcommand{\foo}{\color{LightSteelBlue3}\makebox[0pt]{\textbullet}\hskip-0.5pt\vrule width 1pt\hspace{\labelsep}}

\begin{document}


\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.4}\arrayrulecolor{LightSteelBlue3}

我不能做的是：

1. 将表格的两列对齐到顶部
2. 使表格两列的高度相等（或几乎相等）
3. 在表格的后续延续中添加（或从顶部移除）顶部水平边框。

感谢您的帮助。

一些建议：

• 除 之外，还提供\tablefirsthead、\tablehead和说明。\tablelasttail\topcaption

• 特别是，用于\tablehead为除第一列之外的所有文本列创建准标题。
