How to get raggedright in tabular*?
I want to make a table with three columns of paragraphs, each in raggedright. I can only make it work for the first two columns. If I try to add >{raggedright}, as in the commented-out line below, I get the following error:
! Extra alignment tab has been changed to cr.
Here's my MWE:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{array}
newcommandfox{The quick brown fox jumps.}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{%
>{raggedright}p{1.5in}%
>{raggedright}p{1.5in}%
p{1.5in}}
% >{raggedright}p{1.5in}} % doesn't work in 3rd column
fox & fox & fox \
fox & fox & fox
end{tabular}
end{document}

If you usetabular*with a fixed target width (here: 5in), you should add the directive@{extracolsep{fill}}at the start of the second argument of thetabular*environment.

Thanks, Mico. I fixed the MWE to use tabular (the MWE was hacked down from an attempt to figure this out, which itself was hacked down from the original tabular* I was trying to include in a document).

if you use tabularnewline, than you not need arraybackslash for restoring meaning of \:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{array}
newcommandfox{The quick brown fox jumps.}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{*{3}{>{raggedright}p{1.5in}}}%
fox & fox & fox tabularnewline
fox & fox & fox
end{tabular}
end{document}
off-topic: if you define width of all columns in table, than you not need to define table width with use tabular* environment, since it is determined by column widths. exception is, if you like to add @{extracolsep{fill}} by which you spread columns over prescribed table width.

Add arraybackslash after raggedright:

begin{tabular*}{5in}{%

end{tabular*}
end{document}
You can shorten the code a bit by repeating the same column 3 times:
