Tables

Simple table

\begin{tabular}[<pos>]{<cols>}
  <content>
\end{tabular}

<pos>: [c] to center the table to the text baseline (default), [t] for top alignment, [b] for bottom alignment.
<cols>: alignment and borders of each column.
- l: left-justified column.
- c: centered column.
- r: right-justified column.
- p{<width>}: paragraph column with top vertical alignment.
- m{<width>}: paragraph column with middle vertical alignment (needs array package).
- b{<width>}: paragraph column with bottom vertical alignment (needs array package).
- |: vertical line.
- ||: double vertical line.
- *{<n>}{<format>}: the format is repeated n times (e.g. *{3}{|l}| equals |l|l|l|).

Span multiple columns

\multicolumn{<ncols>}{<align>}{<text>}

<ncols>: number of columns to span.
<align>: text alignment (e.g. l, c, r).

Span multiple rows

\usepackage{multirow}

\multirow[<vpos>]{<nrows>}[<bigstruts>]{<width>}[<vmove>]{<text>}

<vpos>: [c] for vertically centered (default), [t] for top alignment, [b] for bottom alignment.
<nrows>: number of rows to span.
<width>: text width, or * (natural width), or =.
<vmove>: length for fine-tuning.

Span multiple rows and columns

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}                                                   \hline
    1 & 2                                        & 3 & 4                  \\ \hline
    2 & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{\multirow{2}{*}{A}}     & \multirow{2}{*}{B} \\ \cline{1-1}
    3 & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{}                       &                    \\ \hline
    4 & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{C}                      & D                  \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

Quality tables

\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{tabular}{@{}llr@{}}                   \toprule
    \multicolumn{2}{c}{Item} &            \\ \cmidrule(r){1-2}
    Vegetable & Description  & Price (\$) \\ \midrule
    Carrots   & per gram     & 13.65      \\
              & each         & 0.01       \\
    Spinach   & fresh        & 92.50      \\
    Broccoli  & frozen       & 8.99       \\ \bottomrule
\end{tabular}
