which produces a table that contains a cell with itemized bullets. The table looks ugly as the text is not centred inside the cell, there are some useless space for example in the cell with items, the lines are not equally spaced, etc.



How can I improve this table?

I have tried to use this method of adding itemized bullets How to use itemize in Table environment but I did not succeed, i.e., when I use tabitem ....\ tabitem ... the new item is not in the same cell but in a new line.

          Here's a solution that seems to provide what you want:



          enter image description here



          There are three keys here to what I'm doing:



          • I've save the list in a box and prior to making the table. In the table I can then apply usebox to the box to obtain the already formatted content. By doing this, I can make the third column centers (as it appears you want). Using the minipage removes the unwanted white space from before and after the itemize list (provided there's no content outside of the list.

          • By using raisebox, I'm basically able to give the appearance of adding a buffer of white space above and below the list. This is a bit of a misnomer since what I've really done is just told LaTeX that the box's height and depth are a bit larger than they really are. The syntax for raisebox is

          ;



           raisebox<lift>
          [<optional height specification>]
          [<optional depth specification>]
          <content>


          • I use struts to create some control over the spacing.

          Here's the code:



          documentclassarticle
          usepackagediagbox
          usepackageamsmath,array,graphicx

          i would redesign your table in the following form:



          enter image description here



          (red lines indicate text area borders)



          documentclassarticle
          usepackagebooktabs, multirow
          usepackage[skip=1ex]caption
          usepackageenumitem

          begindocument
          begintable[htb]
          centering
          setlengthtabcolsep0pt
          captionClassifiaction
          labeltable:cc
          begintabular*linewidth@extracolsepfill *2l p0.28textwidth *2l
          toprule
          multirow2.2*Classification
          & multicolumn4cModel \
          cmidrule2-5
          & Model 1 & Model 2 & Model 3 & Model 4 \
          midrule
          Class & Class 1 & beginitemize[nosep, leftmargin=*,
          before=vspace-0.6baselineskip,
          after =vspace-baselineskip
          ]
          item Class 1 if $A=B$
          item Class 2 otherwise
          enditemize
          & Class 2 & Class 2 \ midrule
          Method & Method 1 & Method 2 & Method 1 & Method 2 \ midrule
          Time & Constant & Linear & Polylogarithmic & Exponential \
          bottomrule
          endtabular*
          endtable
          enddocument


          as you see, diagbox is replaced with new row for "Model", "Classification" is placed into multirow cell.



          for table is used environment tabular*, its width is equal to text width, for the list is used enumitem package. vertical lines are removed, for horizontal ones are used rules from the package booktabs.

            You shouldn't use resizebox with tables – it leads to inconsistent font sizes. I propose a solution with the small fontsize, a reduced tabcolsep, a more decent text width with the geometry package and tabularx to make the table fit between margins. I reduced the first column width , playing with the height and width parameeters of diagbox. For the liqst problem, I think it will look nicer left aligned at the left border of the cell, and without verical spacing. Last, I replaced hline with hhline to have nicer intersections between vertical and horizontal rules.

              Here's a solution that seems to provide what you want:



              enter image description here



              There are three keys here to what I'm doing:



              • I've save the list in a box and prior to making the table. In the table I can then apply usebox to the box to obtain the already formatted content. By doing this, I can make the third column centers (as it appears you want). Using the minipage removes the unwanted white space from before and after the itemize list (provided there's no content outside of the list.

              • By using raisebox, I'm basically able to give the appearance of adding a buffer of white space above and below the list. This is a bit of a misnomer since what I've really done is just told LaTeX that the box's height and depth are a bit larger than they really are. The syntax for raisebox is

              ;



               raisebox<lift>
              [<optional height specification>]
              [<optional depth specification>]
              <content>


              • I use struts to create some control over the spacing.

              Here's the code:

              Class & Class 1 & beginitemize[nosep, leftmargin=*,
              before=vspace-0.6baselineskip,

              endtabular*
              endtable
              enddocument


              as you see, diagbox is replaced with new row for "Model", "Classification" is placed into multirow cell.



              for table is used environment tabular*, its width is equal to text width, for the list is used enumitem package. vertical lines are removed, for horizontal ones are used rules from the package booktabs.

                  as you see, diagbox is replaced with new row for "Model", "Classification" is placed into multirow cell.



                  for table is used environment tabular*, its width is equal to text width, for the list is used enumitem package. vertical lines are removed, for horizontal ones are used rules from the package booktabs.

                  i would redesign your table in the following form:

                      You shouldn't use resizebox with tables – it leads to inconsistent font sizes. I propose a solution with the small fontsize, a reduced tabcolsep, a more decent text width with the geometry package and tabularx to make the table fit between margins. I reduced the first column width , playing with the height and width parameeters of diagbox. For the liqst problem, I think it will look nicer left aligned at the left border of the cell, and without verical spacing. Last, I replaced hline with hhline to have nicer intersections between vertical and horizontal rules.

                        You shouldn't use resizebox with tables – it leads to inconsistent font sizes. I propose a solution with the small fontsize, a reduced tabcolsep, a more decent text width with the geometry package and tabularx to make the table fit between margins. I reduced the first column width , playing with the height and width parameeters of diagbox. For the liqst problem, I think it will look nicer left aligned at the left border of the cell, and without verical spacing. Last, I replaced hline with hhline to have nicer intersections between vertical and horizontal rules.
