LaTeX: Longtable

Tables are commonly created in LaTeX using the tabular environment. For example, a simple 2 column table:

\begin{tabular}{c c}
Tea & Coffee\\
Coke & Pepsi\\
\end{tabular}

These tables are treated as unbreakable by LaTeX. Thus, a long table will not be broken across a page break, but will be moved into the next page. If you want a table to flow across pages, by being broken across page breaks, the longtable package can be used to achieve that.

Load the longtable package:

\usepackage{longtable}

Replace tabular with longtable:

\begin{longtable}{c c}
Tea & Coffee\\
Coke & Pepsi\\
\end{longtable}
