I use the ltxtable package to create long tables with variable width columns. Using this I want to completely remove the space between to table columns by doing this:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage{tabu}
\usepackage{ltxtable}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}

\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{longtabu} to \textwidth{r@{}l}
    %\taburowcolors{white .. gray}
    \hline
    sth else  & and again \\ \hline
    sth       & blabla \\ 
    else      & stupid\\ 
\end{longtabu}
\end{document}

This works fine until I uncomment the taburowcolors which enforces some space between the columns and thus cuts some of the text.

Is there any way to fix this?

  • You can use \setlength{\tabcolsep}{0pt}. – Salim Bou Feb 12 '16 at 10:03
  • no that doesn't work. It does exactly the same as the @{} and cuts some of the text. Also, you can only set it for all columns in a table which is fine for this minimal example, but not in general. – Jonas Feb 12 '16 at 11:50

I found the solution here colortbl: \rowcolor in tables with \begin{tabular}{@{}ccc@{}}: adding a <{\kern\tabcolsep} before the @{} solves the problem.

Another solution was postet here rowcolors when space is removed with @{}. Adding >{\columncolor{white}[0pt][\tabcolsep]} after the @{} helps as well.
