Hi all, My question concerns the tabular environment. I have a tabular with two columns and I want the full tabular to be exactly 1.0\textwidth width (horizontal width equal to text around the tabular). I tried to give column one width "20 text%" and column two "80 text%", but that does not work out, the sum is bigger than "100 text%". I assume because borders/margins are not included in the column's width. I also tried one column of "100 text%" which also is too wide (I didn't forget \noindent).
Are those units documented somewhere? Like text%, line%, col%, etc.? Can I solve this problem using a LaTeX argument? Thanks. %% LyX 1.3 created this file.
