I have problems in splitting one table in 2 using landscape mode: I tried to generate it from tablesgeneraton to have it correct, but the longtable command does not work, and the table exit from one page in landascape mode.
No errors from the server give me any hint.

I would like to split it into two, horizontal pages.

Here the full code (hopefully a correct MWE - I cannot add the document class since it is a tailored one, but article, or book give me the same outcome):

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{pdflscape} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{document} \begin{landscape} \begin{longtable}{lllllllllll} \caption{} \ \label{tab:my-table}\ \toprule Reference & Seed generation & Production method & Seed addition & Crystallization unit & Dimensions & Flow pattern & Material and dispersant & Size size control & Yield estimation & Solid loading \ \midrule

Could you please help me see where I am doing it wrong? Thank you!

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Please prepare a complete and self-contained minimal working example (MWE) that allows others to reproduce the output you get. Waht exactly does "does not work" mean? Do you get an error message? If so, which one? Or do you just get an output that is different from the expected? If so, how does your output look like and what would you like to change about it? – leandriis May 22 '21 at 09:53
  • your error will be in code you have not shown, so it is hard to help. the \label should be in the \caption command not on a line of its own but that will just make bad output, nit an error. – David Carlisle May 22 '21 at 10:30
  • Hello everyone! I am going to edit the code so that I can make it clearer. I apologise, this is my first post. @leandriis – Elena May 23 '21 at 08:01

  • your table only has 10 rows so does not have a page break, but it is too wide to fit even on a landscape page, you need to format your data in a more reasonable way, even if the fonts and table were adjusted it will be hard for anyone to read a table this wide. – David Carlisle May 23 '21 at 08:14
  • How to make sure a table fits into the available space depends a lot on how much space there is. The size of the textblock is mostly determined by the documentclass you use. So without this information, others can only provide general hints, such as using xltabular instead of longtable. (Something like \begin{xltabular}{\linewidth}{lXXXXXXXXXX} could get you started. Depending on the size of the textblock this might lead to overlaps or too narrow columns.) Other approaches can be found here: My table doesn't fit; what are my options? – leandriis May 23 '21 at 08:20
  • In order to save some space, you could merge the two columns "Seed generation" and "seed addition" into a single column. You could also remove lengthier text from the "Yield estimation" column (such as "mean mass flow/total seed flow") and use table notes to show this information below the table. – leandriis May 23 '21 at 08:24

It fits (but is still not very readable) if you adjust the column widths:

Based on my previous suggestions and with the help of xltabular and threeparttablex, as well as a smaller font size nd a slightly decreased value of \tabcolsep, you can get the following output:
