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.
