why my table goes beyond the page border?
I am out of any ideas. My piece of code for a very long table goes beyond the page border. I spent 4 hours reading through and testing all possible solutions but no success:
Here is the example screenshot from the word:
below is a snippet of my code

I set the linewidth, did not work. I also used other libraries such as tabularx, still could not figure it out. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks Mani
Solution
If you warp all your cells completely unnecessarily into \multicolumn{1}{|l|}{...} you disable the automatic line breaking and sabotage the columns width you set at the start of the table.
Here a different approach using the tabularray package, which makes it very easy to merge cells:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\definecolor{mycolor}{HTML}{9CCDE2}
\begin{document}
\begin{longtblr}[
caption={lab lab lab},
label={table:test},
note{1}={\url{https://geoportal.bayern.de/geoportalbayern/suche/suche?6&q=flur&f=true}},
note{2}={\url{https://data.europa.eu/en}},
note{3}={\url{https://data.lacity.org/browse}}
]{
colspec={XXXXX},
cells={halign=l,valign=h},
row{odd}={mycolor},
row{1}={white,font=\bfseries},
rowhead = 2,
vlines,hlines
}
\SetCell[r=2]{} Requirements for the catalogue & \SetCell[c=2]{} Geospatial domain & & \SetCell[c=2]{} E-government / open data platform & \\
