I like the hybrid of longtable and tabulary environments, that was devised on this site, so much, that I came to use it exclusively.

And also

I wish it was released officially as a package. I should also mention perhaps, that I am not familiar with TeX intrinsics, and so have no clue how the code below works, I simply copy-pasted it together.

Now to the problems. I need to use multirow. It recommends to prevent page breaks of the multirow rows with \\*. However, it still breaks after first row (and \nopagebreak doesn't help either).

\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{tabulary}

I use latest MikTex and lualatex

  • Could you please turn your code fragments into a real compilable minimal working example (MWE) that reproduces such an unwanted page break? – leandriis Jul 13 '19 at 14:09
  • Could you please also include the reason for your usage of all the \multirow commands. As far as I can see from the soce you posted, there is actually not really a need for them, unless you want to vertically center the contents of thouse cells with respect to the adjacent rows. – leandriis Jul 13 '19 at 14:14
  • edited the question to make it compilable. Also corrected the first question and remove the second one, because it is irrelevant if the first is solved. – Andrey Pro Jul 13 '19 at 14:57
  • @leandriis Multirow also makes the column height indepenent from each other. – Andrey Pro Jul 13 '19 at 14:58
  • That's indeed true. Could you please also add, where you would want your pagebreak to happen? Probably you could also benefit from using a landscape page for your table. – leandriis Jul 13 '19 at 18:43
  • This is only the beginning of the table. It should be kept together and break after it. – Andrey Pro Jul 13 '19 at 20:31
