Tighten RE manuscript table layouts for two-column fit by Copilot · Pull Request #265 · symbiotic-engineering/MDOcean

Copilot · 2026-06-22T10:17:06Z

Most tables in pubs/renewable-energy-mdo overflowed the two-column journal layout (excluding Tables 2, 5, and 12). This update applies targeted table-format changes: narrower single-column tabular widths, conversion of selected result tables to two-column floats, and tighter landscape table geometry for appendix tables that still overflowed.

Table sizing fixes (single-column tables)
- Reduced column widths and inter-column spacing for:
  - sections/formulation.tex (Tables 3 and 4: design variables, selected parameters)
- Tightened \tabcolsep for the large landscape literature table in:
  - sections/introduction.tex (Table 1)
Two-column float conversion
- Converted result tables in sections/results.tex from table to table* (Tables 6–8) to use full page width in two-column mode.
Landscape appendix overflow fixes
- Narrowed paired code/description columns and tightened spacing for:
  - sections/other-appendices.tex (Tables 9–11)
