<h4 class="subsection">11.5.1 Multitable Column Widths</h4>
<p><a name="index-Multitable-column-widths-546"></a><a name="index-Column-widths_002c-defining-for-multitables-547"></a><a name="index-Widths_002c-defining-multitable-column-548"></a>
You can define the column widths for a multitable in two ways: as
fractions of the line length; or with a prototype row. Mixing the two
methods is not supported. In either case, the widths are defined
entirely on the same line as the <code>@multitable</code> command.
<ol type=1 start=1>
<li><a name="index-columnfractions-549"></a><a name="index-Line-length_002c-column-widths-as-fraction-of-550"></a>To specify column widths as fractions of the line length, write
<code>@columnfractions</code> and the decimal numbers (presumably less than
1; a leading zero is allowed and ignored) after the
<code>@multitable</code> command, as in:
<pre class="example"> @multitable @columnfractions .33 .33 .33
</pre>
<p>The fractions need not add up exactly to 1.0, as these do not. This
allows you to produce tables that do not need the full line length.
<li><a name="index-Prototype-row_002c-column-widths-defined-by-551"></a>To specify a prototype row, write the longest entry for each column
enclosed in braces after the <code>@multitable</code> command. For example:
<pre class="example"> @multitable {some text for column one} {for column two}
</pre>
<p class="noindent">The first column will then have the width of the typeset `some text for
column one', and the second column the width of `for column two'.
<p>The prototype entries need not appear in the table itself.
<p>Although we used simple text in this example, the prototype entries can
contain Texinfo commands; markup commands such as <code>@code</code> are
particularly likely to be useful.
