I have some narrow text and tabular environments that I'd like to center based on the horizontal space they use up in total. However, it's important that when centered, the original alignments between the elements are preserved. So the effect would be more like increasing margins. Naturally, centering
won't work, as it centers every element individually.
The closest I've come is using a minipage
and scaling the width by eye. The total width of the page content might vary though. So is there a way to do this kind of centering?
I guess if there's a way to measure the total width that a page takes, it could be fed to minipage
. I have very little experience with LaTeX macros and what's generally possible. So any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's an example.
And a minimal code with all cases:
documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[margin=1in]geometry
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackage[finnish]babel

Instead of a minipage
you could use a varwidth
environment - this will automatically shrink to the necessary width:
documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[margin=1in]geometry
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackage[finnish]babel
usepackagegensymb
setlengthparskip1em
usepackagevarwidth
begindocument

Juttu
begintabularl

endvarwidth
