Table LateX doesn't show up in the document

Question

For some reason my code is not reproducing the table I wanted in the document. Only a bold line shows up but no cells or text. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

That's not a bold line, that literarily is your table ... just scaled down sooooooo much by \resizebox that you can't see it. That's one of the many reasons you should never use \resizebox for elements which contain text. Other reasons are suboptimal choice of letter shapes and a ransom letter appearance to the final document with all the different font sizes.

Other problems:

• \begin{document} is missing

• By using l columns for your table and then even wrapping the verrrrrrrrrrrry long lines into additional tables with c columns, you are very efficiently telling latex to never ever break lines in your table. Instead you could use a column of fixed with, or - easier - use the tabularray package with an X column which will automatically calculate the width

• no floating specifier like [htbp] is given
