the example:

\documentclass{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{tabu}

\begin{document}
\begin{tabu} to \textwidth {l}
abc\\
def
\end{tabu}
\end{document}

I use xelatex to compile and the output shows:

! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again> 
               \relax 
l.9 \end{tabu}

? 
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again> 
               \relax 
l.9 \end{tabu}

? 
! Undefined control sequence.
\tabuthepreamble ...ll@font \ignorespaces \@sharp 
                                              \unskip \tabu@cellright    \t...
l.9 \end{tabu}

the problem is that revtex4-1 redefine array and tabular in line 856 in revtex4-1.cls. Because I need to use a lot advanced features in tabu, are there any methods to get back the original definition of array and tabular? Of course, such method can not change the source code of revtex4-1 and tabu.

Compile the tabu table in an external document and then \includegraphics the resulting PDF. – Henri Menke Jun 20 '16 at 20:54

Welcome to TeX.SX! I don't think you can use tabu in revtex4-1. No hope. – egreg Jun 20 '16 at 21:32
