I know I’m a bit late to the party, but I started using the (awesome!) tabularray package only recently. I realized that I would also appreciate having the envisioned Currently, there seems to be a single workaround to automatically achieve a uniform distribution of space between columns of natural width when using tabularray-only environments: inserting artificial, empty This yields exactly the same spacing as the traditional \documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{newtx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[margin = 3cm]{geometry}

\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs}
\SetTblrInner[booktabs]{

hborder{Z} = {abovespace = \aboverulesep, belowspace = \belowbottomsep},
column{1} = {leftsep = 0pt},

I have to correct myself. Here is an approach that does not mess with the number of columns in the table: \documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{newtx}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[margin = 3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\UseTblrLibrary{booktabs}
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\begin{document}
{\color{blue} Rule to visualize the \texttt{\textbackslash textwidth} \\
\rule{\textwidth}{0.2cm}}
\newlength{\TblrNaturalWidth}
\newlength{\TblrTotalColSep}
\settowidth{\TblrNaturalWidth}{%
\begin{booktabs}{
colspec = {*{8}{l}},
colsep = 0pt,
}
\toprule
Test & Test 1 & Test 12 & Test 123 & Test 1234 & Test 12345 & Test 123456 & Test 1234567 \\
\bottomrule
\end{booktabs}%
}
\setlength{\TblrTotalColSep}{\textwidth - \TblrNaturalWidth}
\bigskip
\texttt{tblr} (\texttt{booktabs}) environment with \texttt{colsep} calculated from the difference between its natural width and \texttt{\textbackslash textwidth}:
\bigskip
\begin{booktabs}{
colspec = {*{8}{l}},
colsep = \TblrTotalColSep / 14,
column{1} = {leftsep = 0pt},
column{Z} = {rightsep = 0pt},
}
\toprule
Test & Test 1 & Test 12 & Test 123 & Test 1234 & Test 12345 & Test 123456 & Test 1234567 \\
\bottomrule
\end{booktabs}%
\bigskip
For comparison, \texttt{tabular*} environment with \texttt{@\{\textbackslash extracolsep\{\textbackslash fill\}\}}:
\bigskip
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}} *{8}{l} @{}}
\toprule
Test & Test 1 & Test 12 & Test 123 & Test 1234 & Test 12345 & Test 123456 & Test 1234567 \\

You can, of course, also put this in a command (requires the calc package) such as \newlength{\TblrNaturalWidth}
\newlength{\TblrTotalColSep}
\newcommand{\booktabsTextwidth}[3]{%
% Argument 1: #columns across which to distribute the space
% Argument 2: Layout specifications such as colspec, row, cells, etc.
% Argument 3: Contents of the table
\settowidth{\TblrNaturalWidth}{%
\begin{booktabs}{#2}
#3
\end{booktabs}%
}%
\setlength{\TblrTotalColSep}{\textwidth - \TblrNaturalWidth}%
\begin{booktabs}{column{1-Z} = {colsep+ = 0.5\TblrTotalColSep / #1}, #2}
#3
\end{booktabs}%
}Or, even more flexibly: \newcommand{\BooktabsToWidth}[4][\textwidth]{%
% Optional argument (#1): desired width, default: \textwidth
% Mandatory argument (#2): #columns across which to distribute the space
% Mandatory argument (#3): specifications such as colspec, row, cells, etc.
% Mandatory argument (#4): contents of the table
\settowidth{\TblrNaturalWidth}{%
\begin{booktabs}{#3}
#4
\end{booktabs}%
}%
\setlength{\TblrTotalColSep}{#1 - \TblrNaturalWidth}%
\begin{booktabs}{column{1-Z} = {colsep+ = 0.5\TblrTotalColSep / #2}, #3}
#4
\end{booktabs}%

I would assume that such complicated tables—in which some cells span a single line, while others span multiple lines—will almost always require manual adjustments by the author of the manuscript. After all, one can have different objectives in mind:
An algorithm that is supposed to determine the column widths for the author will need to know which objective the author pursues. |

If you are
then you are manually assigning different types to the columns anyway. In this case, I think it is easiest to format the table in the standard way. That is, use code that includes your desired formatting in combination with at least one flexible column—for example, \begin{booktabs}{
colspec = {l X l},
column{1} = {leftsep = 0pt},
column{1-2} = {rightsep+ = 0.5cm},
column{Z} = {rightsep = 0pt},
width = \textwidth
}
\toprule
I & II & III \\
\midrule
Test 1 &
Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test Test 2 &

In the table above, we set
colsep = 0pt. I hope tblr can automatically complete the setting ofcolsepso that the table width is the specified width, such as\textwidth.I try to set
colsep = 7.5ptto meet the demand in this example. But this is inconvenient and not accurate. Whether there is a method to automatically complete this step. If you can provide an interface, such aswidth = \textwidth, colsep = autofill, it will be even better.I know the existence of the
Xcolumn format, but I don't want this. In many cases, the proportion between columns is not easy to see, so it is not very convenient to use theXcolumn format. All I want is to setcolsepautomatically.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
