title: wrapping text in a latex table without block
body: <p>I have a table on a page in a LaTeX document like this on it:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{X | p{4.6cm} | p{3cm}}
      &amp; &amp; \\
      &amp; drop variable \syntaxConcept{}; &amp; some very long content in order to produce a high box \\
      &amp; &amp; \\
  \end{tabularx}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The cell in the middle produces the following output:<br>
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f2Tpgm.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/f2Tpgm.png" alt="wrong output"></a>  </p>
  
  <p>Now I tried two things:  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Getting the content in all cells to a vertical align top and</li>
  <li>Getting the text <strong>not</strong> wrapped like a block text</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So the result should be like this:<br>
  <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jsDQpm.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jsDQpm.png" alt="correct output"></a>  </p>
  
  <p>But I am not able to get this kind of result. The <code>p{width}</code> always produces a wrapping block text and a normal <code>l</code> has no width parameter.</p>
