LaTeX tables

For full details about how to create tables using LaTeX macros you must see a reference book, but here are a few examples.

For clarity, first note the following distinction:

Tabular Environment
-- everything between the commands \begin{tabular} and \end{tabular} including rows, columns, the contents and alignment of each cell, and instructions about vertical and horizontal lines.

Table Environment
-- everything between the commands \begin{table} and \end{table}, which gets mentioned in the List of Tables (if any), and gets floated to appropriate location along with its label and caption (e.g., ``Table 3.5: First-round scores'') regardless of the content.
