    The document discusses how to make the width of an inner table fill the entire column width of an outer table in LaTeX. It provides an example where an inner tabularx table is placed within the columns of an outer tabular* table, but the inner table's width is hardcoded. The response recommends using \linewidth to automatically set the inner table width to the full column width, and improving the cell structure for readability.

    How to make width of an inner table use full column width of an outer table?
    When making tabularx one need to give a table width. For the outermost table, one can use \textwidth . When making one or more inner table(s) inside outer table(s), the inner table(s) also need a width, which will be in this case the width of the column of the outer table that this inner table happened to be in. It is hard to keep track of the the context and to manually give hardcoded values. I am not able to figure how to tell LaTeX to use all the available column width from the outer table, and let LaTeX do the calculation. Need something similar to X but for the tablewidth itself. Here is a MWE one one table inside another.
    \documentclass[10pt,notitlepage]{article}% \usepackage{tabularx} \usepackage{hyperref} \usepackage{array} \newcolumntype{Y}{>{\centering\arraybackslash}X} \begin{document} %have to use tabular* for outer table since I can't figure how to use tabularx \begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{|p{0.5\textwidth}|p{0.5\textwidth}|}\hline \begin{tabularx}{0.5\textwidth}{@{}|Y|Y|Y|@{}}\hline % how to automate this? % instead of 0.5\textwidth % use full column width

    \href{foo/index.htm}{A} \begin{enumerate} \item item 1 \item item 2 \end{enumerate}& \href{foo/index.htm}{B}& \href{foo/index.htm}{C}\\\hline \end{tabularx} & second column \end{tabular*} \end{document}

    You can use \linewidth . Useful reference will be: this Q and its A. It would be better to use p{\dimexpr0.5\textwidth2\tabcolsep\relax} for the outer table and a left aligned cell structure for enumerate .

    There are other improvisations possible, but I am not sure of what is your final goal. Harish Kumar 3 hours ago
