AI Thread Summary
The discussion addresses issues with creating a list of notations using the tabular environment in LaTeX. It highlights that the tabular environment is unsuitable for tables that exceed one page, as it does not support page breaks. For longer tables, the \longtable environment is recommended. Additionally, for generating a bibliography, using BibTeX is advised. A solution for creating a list of notations is the nomenclature package, which can be utilized to format and generate notations using MakeIndex. This package can be installed through standard LaTeX installation routes.

Hello all,

I am trying to do the list of notations using tabular environment. However, any letter after filling the first page does not appear, i.e.: only the first page of the list of notations appears. why?

Thanks

The tabular environment is only for short tables that do not go over multiple pages.
Therefore it does not get broken by LaTeX's page-break algorithm.

For long tables, you need the \longtable environment

If you are trying to do a bibliography, you should use BibTex.
