Tabela com células mescladas, vários índices e quebra automática de texto

Question

Eu gostaria de ter uma mesa assim.Aqui estáum link para abrir a imagem em outra aba.

O que importa para mim é a estrutura. A formatação é apenas para mostrar o que eu gostaria de destacar dos demais de alguma forma.

Como é que eu:

1. Certifique-se de que o texto seja quebrado quando os dados ultrapassarem um comprimento específico.
2. Use uma multicoluna para as células inferiores direitas, conforme a imagem?

Aqui está o que eu tenho:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}
 % Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.
\begin{table}[ht]
    \begin{center}
        \begin{tabular}{cccc}
            \hline
            \multirow{2}{*}{Outer index 1} & Inner index 1.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & Inner index 1.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\ 
            \hline
            \multirow{2}{*}{Outer index 2} & Inner index 2.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & Inner index 2.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            \hline
            \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 3} &  Inner index 3.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.3 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.4 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.5 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.5 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            &Inner index 3.6 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            \hline
        \end{tabular}
    \end{center}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Uma melhor formatação é bem-vinda. Sinta-se à vontade para adicionar seu próprio toque.

Answer 1

O seguinte inclui:

• tabularxpara Xcolunas de tipo e uma tabela que se ajusta à largura do texto
• \multicolumn para as células que abrangem 2 colunas
• valores ajustados \multirowpara centralizar verticalmente o texto na primeira coluna
• substituiu centero ambiente por, \centeringpois o primeiro adiciona espaço em branco adicional ao redor da mesa

• usei linhas horizontais da booktabsembalagem para melhorar o espaçamento.

  \documentclass[11pt]{article}
  
  \usepackage{multirow}
  \usepackage{geometry}
  \usepackage{tabularx}
  \usepackage{booktabs}
  \usepackage{ragged2e}
  \begin{document}
  
  \begin{table}[ht]
      \centering
          \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{cc>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}
              \toprule
              \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 1} & Inner index 1.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
              & Inner index 1.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\ 
              \midrule
              \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 2} & Inner index 2.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
              & Inner index 2.2 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
              \midrule
              \multirow{9}{*}{Outer index 3} &  Inner index 3.1 & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
              &Inner index 3.2 & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
              &Inner index 3.3 & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{ Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
              \bottomrule
          \end{tabularx}
  \end{table}
  
  \end{document}

Aqui, também usei multirowpara o conteúdo da segunda coluna:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
    \centering
        \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{cc>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}
            \toprule
            \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 1} & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 1.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 1.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\ 
            \midrule
            \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 2} & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 2.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 2.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            \midrule
            \multirow{9}{*}{Outer index 3} &  \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 3.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 3.2} & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
            & \multirow{3}{*}{Inner index 3.3} & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{ Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
            \bottomrule
        \end{tabularx}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Para centralizar verticalmente o texto na segunda coluna, você também pode usar o makecellpacote em combinação com Xcolunas de tipo centralizadas verticalmente, conforme mostrado no seguinte MWE:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage{makecell}
\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{m{#1}}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[ht]
    \centering
        \begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{cc>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X>{\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}
            \toprule
            \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 1} & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 1.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 1.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\ 
            \midrule
            \multirow{6}{*}{Outer index 2} & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 2.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 2.2} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            \midrule
            \multirow{9}{*}{Outer index 3} &  \makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.1} & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped. & Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.\\
            & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.2} & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
            & \makecell[cc]{Inner index 3.3} & \multicolumn{2}{>{\hsize=\dimexpr2\hsize+2\tabcolsep+\arrayrulewidth\relax\RaggedRight\arraybackslash}X}{ Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.  Text data placeholder. May be long enough that it needs to be wrapped.}\\
            \bottomrule
        \end{tabularx}
\end{table}
