The discussion revolves around issues related to the use of the LaTeX tabular environment for creating tables. Participants are exploring the reasons why certain tabular instances may not render correctly and discussing potential solutions or adjustments needed for proper formatting.
Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the specific cause of the rendering issues, as there are multiple suggestions and approaches presented without a definitive resolution.
There may be limitations related to the specific LaTeX packages or environments being used, which are not fully explored in the discussion.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
\ell & m = -2 & m = -1 & m = 0 & m = 1 & m = 2\\
\hline
0 & - & - & 50\sqrt{\pi} & - & -\\
\hline
1 & - & 25\sqrt{3\pi} & 0 & 25\sqrt{3\pi} & -\\

Try the above.
dwsmith said:This didn't work as well. Is there a special preamble package needed for tabular?
\begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|r|}
\hline
Name &1 &2 &3 \\ \hline
Peter &2.45 &34.12 &1.00 \\ \hline
John &0.00 &12.89 &3.71 \\ \hline
David &2.00 &1.85 &0.71 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}Ackbach said:Not usually. Are you trying to use tabular in a math or text environment? The tabular is a text environment. Can you try a really simple tabular instance like this:
Code:\begin{tabular}{|l|r|r|r|} \hline Name &1 &2 &3 \\ \hline Peter &2.45 &34.12 &1.00 \\ \hline John &0.00 &12.89 &3.71 \\ \hline David &2.00 &1.85 &0.71 \\ \hline \end{tabular}
