I have a table from the MDPI journal template but it is too big and I need to break it down to the remaining pages. However, the template does not have this information.
Having said that I need help in order to maintain the content and formatting of the table while it breaks down to the other pages.
I have a table from the MDPI magazine template only it is too big and I need it broken down to the remaining sheets. However, the template does not have this information.
Having said that I need help in order to maintain the content and formatting of the table while it breaks down to the other pages.
I've tested several things I've found in my research but it's not working because of the table's formatting specifics.
The code that puts the table in the form I want and that is the MDPI journal form is as follows:
\begin{table}[H]

And the result of this PDF code is as follows:

longtablehad not to be enclosed in floattable. It prevent it to break into more pages. Another possibilities is that you split table in two parts manually and than consider idea described in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/278727/split-subfigures-over-multiple-pages/278748#278748 – Zarko Jan 20 '22 at 00:19
