brittle cave
Hey all, I'm wondering how I can decrease the left-indent of a table - or ideally center it - so that I have some more space to fit text. I haven't yet filled out the table, and I notice it's vertically centered but not horizontally - I would really like to shift it so it could be horizontally centered as well so I could put some more text in the "Unit goals" section.
Here's my code for the table:
\begin{table}[t]
\begin{tabular}{p{0.2\textwidth}|p{0.3\textwidth}|p{0.3\textwidth}|p{0.3\textwidth}}
\textbf{Unit Goal} & \textbf{Evidence of a high level of understanding} & \textbf{Evidence of a medium level of understanding} & \textbf{Evidence of a low level of understanding}\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
it's for a class i'm taking to eventually get my HS teaching license - the class is mostly people who plan to teach something other than math, so the assignments are given to us as google docs to fill out. but i really don't like using the docs equation editor, so have been redoing things in latex
this is what the table im trying to recreate in latex looks like in docs
if there's a package or something that would make this easier, im happy to use that too!
i tried googling about how to change the indent, and i found some posts from 2009 on similar questions where people suggested using \noindent{} right before the \begin{tabular} section, but i wonder if this is deprecated or something since when i put it in and compile, nothing visibly changes

try \centering after \begin{table}

like this?
oh
you meant right after begin{table}
hmm, i don't know if that fixes it
like, i know it won't be in line with the text then, but ideally i'd like the two blue lines to be the same length
idk if that makes sense

this thread talks about graphics but nearly all of it should apply to your table as well: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/57702/custom-margin-settings-for-figure-in-latex
