How to stretch a table over multiple pages [closed]

Question

I have a Table (multiple rows, multiple columns, see below ) that is longer than one page. How can I tell LaTeX to continue on the next page.

• Adding a \newpage didn't work

• Manually 'ending' and 'reopening' the table works, but is very tedious, since the table will be many pages long.

  \begin{tabular}{lp{13cm}} 
      AAAAAAAAAA  & FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR\\
      BBBBBBBBBB  & FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR\\
      CCCCCCCCCC  & FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR\\
  
      ...
  
      ZZZZZZZZZ  &  FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR FOOBAR\\
   \end{tabular}

You should \usepackage{longtable}.
