I'm using the para option to typeset table notes as a single justified text block, which often works, but not always. The attached code produces this: enter image description here There is a break between "b" and "c". It seems that threeparttable checks whether it can save a line by putting it all into one block, and if not it doesn't. But that can yield some ugly line-breaks, which make my document appear inconsistently formatted. How can I instruct it to always append all entries without breaking the line, so that the result looks like this: enter image description here

Code:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article} 
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[para]{threeparttable} 
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\renewcommand\TPTminimum{\linewidth}
\begin{document}

\blindtext[1]

\begin{table}[!tbh]
\begin{threeparttable}
        \begin{tabular}{cll}
            \toprule some&table&content\\\midrule
            1&2&3\\\bottomrule
        \end{tabular}
    \begin{tablenotes}
        \item  aaaaaa aaaaaaaaa aa a aaaaaa aaaaaaaaa a a a aa 
        \item  bbb bbbb b bbbbbbbbb b bb bbbbbb b bbbb b bbbbbbbbb b bb bbbbbbbbb bbbb b bbbbbbbbb b bb bbbbbb b bbbb b bbbbbbbbb b bb bbbbbb
        \item ccc ccc c c cccccc c c cccccc c c cccccc c c cccccc c c cccccc c c ccc c c cc
    \end{tablenotes}%
\end{threeparttable}%
\end{table}

\end{document}

EDIT: I edited the code, removing a few "c"s from it, the original code did not fit the screenshot.

EDIT2: There's a related issue here: threeparttable notes layout, and the solution might help answering my question. I just can't seem to find out how.

  • it works as expected if you remove \renewcommand\TPTminimum{\linewidth}. main features of threeparttable is that notes is below table and that they are not wide then table (as i understand it). – Zarko Mar 13 '18 at 16:50
  • No, when I remove this line it works only in this particular example, it doesn't actually solve the problem that the tablenotes environment likes adding line-breaks before \items. In my actual document tables are as wide as the text, thus the problem then remains the very same. Only, for the MWE I used a smaller table. – sheß Mar 14 '18 at 10:07
  • i cant reproduce correct work of threeparttable anymore. so you have right. – Zarko Mar 14 '18 at 10:57
