<div> I'm having a little difficulty in recalling or finding how to properly generate a table like the following...<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div><tex><br></div>
<div>\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}<br></div>
<div>\hline <br></div>
<div>\multirow{2}{*}{Expt.}&\multicolumn{3}{c}\ Concentration (mol$\cdot $L$^{-1}$) \ &Initial Rate\\<br></div>
<div>&[CO$_2$]$_0$&[F$^-$]$_0$&[Mn$_2$F$_2$]$_0$&(Mol$\cdot $L$^{-1}\cdot $min$^{-1}$)\\ \hline <br></div>
<div>1&0.2&0.4&0.4&0.128\\ \hline <br></div>
<div>2&0.2& 0.4&0.1&0.008\\ \hline <br></div>
<div>\end{tabular}\</tex><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The above works 'fine', except that there are no cell borders immediately below or to the immediate right of the ''cell" created by \multicolumn{3}{c}\ Concentration (mol$\cdot $L$^{-1}$) \<br></div>
</div>
</blockquote><div> </div>
<div>There is no command for drawing borders below -- so none were drawn.<br></div>
<div>Use \hline as you did elsewhere, or \cline{2-4} to decorate only the \multicolumn created cell.<br></div>
<div>I have no idea why the right border was not drawn.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>You could give up the vertical borders and increment the space between columns. (I believe this is the recommended way to typeset tables, but I am not an expert.)<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>BTW, <br></div>
<div>Any particular reason why the last argument of \multicolumn is delimited by blanks (\ ) instead of the standard curly braces ({})?<br>This is not the cause for the problem, but could become a cause for other problems in the future.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>HTH,<br>Itay<br></div>

<div>Not sure what I need to add to this LaTeX to make those particular borders appear in LON-CAPA.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd send a screenshot if this list allowed it.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!!<br></div>
