长表格中的文本换行 - 改进思路

Question

我有一个很长的桌面，有时里面会环绕很多文本。我宁愿不使用横向显示。

因此我使用 \ltxtable 包创建了以下测试。

核心代码为：

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,centered,noparindent,noparskip]{bookest}

%\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{ltxtable}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{textcomp}

\begin{document}

\LTXtable{\textwidth}{t3.tex}

\end{document}

而t3.tex文件的longtable代码是：

\begin{longtable}{lp{4.5cm}lp{6.5cm}} \toprule  
% header ------------------------
\textnumero& Name \& Title & Dates & Events \\ \midrule
\endhead
1& King Soandso III & 2234 -- to date &  This is some text \\
2& King Soandso III & 2234 -- 3456 & This is a lot of text that needs to be wrapped effectively\\
3& King Soandso III & 234 -- 134 (?)& This is some text \\
4& Queen Soandso III  & 15thc -- 16thc (?) & This is a lot of text that needs to be wrapped effectively\\
5& King Soandso III ``The Radiant Light of the Sun over the Water of the Old Spring'' & 15thc -- 16thc (?) &  This is a lot of text that needs to be wrapped effectively \\
6&&&  This is some text \\
--&\multicolumn{3}{p{14.5cm}}{\textit{And what if there was a lot of text here that needed to be wrapped properly and elegantly to let the text breathe.}} \\
7&&&  This is a lot of text that needs to be wrapped effectively \\
8&&&  This is some text \\
9&&&  This is a lot of text that needs to be wrapped effectively \\
10&&&  This is some text \\ \bottomrule
\caption{Kings \& Queens.}
\end{longtable}

结果是这样的：

关于如何改进它，有什么建议吗？

例如，为什么标题出现在表格底部这么近的位置？“常规”表格不是这样的。

整个事情让人感觉......“丑陋”和尴尬就是最好的形容。

谢谢。

p如果您需要跨列，则使用任何地方都会更简单p，因为您知道要跨的列宽。我对齐了日期--并将标题移到顶部。

\documentclass[oneside,centered,noparindent,noparskip]{bookest}

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{threeparttable}

\usepackage{array}

\begin{document}

\begin{longtable}{
@{}
>{\raggedright}p{.5cm}
p{4.5cm}
>{\raggedleft}p{1.5cm}@{}
>{\raggedright}p{2cm}
p{6.5cm}
@{}}
% header ------------------------
\caption{Kings \& Queens.}\\
