I want to remove the border spacing of a table created by longtable package. I wish to preserve the column spacing as such and wish to only remove the right side border spacing so that a two column table spanning in two pages will be well aligned. I'm aware of using \brgin{tabular}{@{}ll@{}} for removing table border space in normal table or tabular environment. I'm using the table for creating a table inside a section of my resume made using res.cls. I've also attached a screenshot of the problem that I'm facing.

  • @{} also works in longtables. You might want to add the l option as in \begin{longtable}[l]{@{}l}. – leandriis May 19 '19 at 12:37
  • Apart from that, you might want to use an alternative for the very ols res.cls. Alternative might be found for example here: LaTeX template for resume/curriculum vitae – leandriis May 19 '19 at 12:40
  • I do use other templates made using moderncv and other packages. This one is for academic purpose. I tried \begin{longtable}[@{}ll], but the table collapsed and now it's like the skills section is looking like it's written using normal line breaks. @leandriis – Govind May 19 '19 at 12:52
  • it is always better to show your input as code, you could use @{} to remove the inter-column space but what we can not see without code is why the text "National institute..." is not already aligned – David Carlisle May 19 '19 at 12:53

    if you really used \begin{longtable}[@{}ll] then you would have had multiple errors reported, the column specifications have to go in a mandatory {} argument not an optional [] one. Please show your actual code, in a code block in your question. – David Carlisle May 19 '19 at 12:55
  • Can you check both the images.It has the screenshot of the codes that I tried to resolve the issue. @DavidCarlisle https://imgur.com/D08j5A8, https://imgur.com/oZwC0im – Govind May 19 '19 at 13:09
  • First one (https://imgur.com/D08j5A8) didn't give any errors but the alignment is not correct. The second one gave multiple errors as you told. @DavidCarlisle – Govind May 19 '19 at 13:12
  • please do not use external links and do not post code as an image, put a small complete document as text in your question – David Carlisle May 19 '19 at 13:14
  • however your code image (the first one) make it clear that despite the red lines you added to the image in the question there is no alignment specified the "National Insti..." text and the Softwares... text are in separate tables which do not have fixed width columns so will not be alogned. – David Carlisle May 19 '19 at 13:17

longtable are centred by default so you want a left-algned one with no column padding on the left so

\begin{longtable}[l]{@{}ll}
