As mentioned in the title, I was wondering if anyone can point me to a guide on when to use tabularx and when to use tabular (or tabular*).
Based on my limited knowledge and posts like LaTeX tables with automatic column width and When does tabularx decide to break the cell entry instead of reducing the columns separation?, it seems that whenever I am dealing with numbers tabular environment is a better choice. What if I have a combination of text and number in my table? I wanted to ask community's opinion and best practices to use these environments.
