LaTeX Multirow Multicol Table Coloring

Inspiration

Number of two-digit numbers not containing the digit ‘8’.

Code

  • The standalone class can’t be used with \caption.
  • *{8}{c} means 8 c.
  • >{\columncolor{cyan}}c gives the column color. It \usepackage[table]{xcolor}.
  • \rowcolor{cyan} overrides the column colors.
  • \cellcolor{white} overrides the above two commands. It has to be carried out one-by-one without any fancy package.
  • \multicolumn{n}{<alignment>}{content} defines a multi-column cell.
  • \multirow{n}{*}{content} defines a multi-row cell. It \usepackage{multirow}. It can’t contain \multicolumn.
  • \cline{i-j} draws a horizontal line above the row from column i to column j.
  • No fancy way of coloring multirow cells without fancy packages.
  • \multirow{-9} at the last row creates a cell spanning nine rows from bottom to above, so that its content won’t be covered by colors of former rows.
  • \rotatebox[origin=[clr]]{angle}{content}: rotate content by angle anticlockwise with [clr] as the rotation center.
