I'm looking to include a table in a document on a single page with A4 size, ensuring that the text remains readable. I attempted to use \scalebox, but it resulted in the text becoming too small and altering the width and height of the box. Since I'm relatively new to LaTeX, I find myself a bit stuck and would appreciate any suggestions or guidance you could offer on how to achieve this. Thank you!

lcolumns if you only use one? Why do you use atabularat all? Anyways, the simplest hot fix to this would probably be to replace the column defintion (in the mandatory argument to thetabularenvironment) with just@{} p{\linewidth} @{}. – Jasper Habicht Feb 06 '24 at 17:13\scaleboxon tables as a last resort, and even then try to avoid it. – David Carlisle Feb 06 '24 at 17:35llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllmeans you are specifying a table of 41 columns, each set to the natural width of the text, with no line breaking. That is not going to fit in most pages. – David Carlisle Feb 06 '24 at 17:36\begin{table}[!htbp] \centering \begin{adjustbox}{width=\textwidth} \small \begin{tabular}{@{\extracolsep{0pt}} l} \[-1.8ex]\hline

You can additionally decrease the font size with\smallor\footnotesize. If the text body is not very tight, this should work. If not, please show a minimal working example (MWE) so that we know more about your document set up, the paper size, margins etc. – Jasper Habicht Feb 07 '24 at 08:22
