[Latex] Double -> Single Column

[natski]

Hi all,

I have a class file template which uses double columns throughout. I wish to insert a table which will fill the entire page so I need to somehow break the two column format for a small section and then go back to it afterwards.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Natski

\begin{widetext}
enter your single column text here
\end{widetext}

There are a few different ways to approach this issue, depending on the specific formatting requirements of your document. One option would be to use the "widetext" environment in LaTeX, which allows you to temporarily switch to single-column mode for a specific portion of your document. Another option would be to use the "multicol" package, which allows you to create multiple columns within a single page. Alternatively, you could manually adjust the column widths for the specific section where you want to insert the table. It may also be helpful to consult with the documentation for your specific class file template for more specific instructions.
