Vertical Alignment for Table Cell Content

Post by drmath » Sun Jul 07, 2013 9:38 am

I want to align tabular cells vertically. But third column is not aligned.

\begin<|m|m|m|>\hline a & b & c \\[2cm] \hline d & e & f \\[2cm] \hline \end

Vertical Alignment for Table Cell Content

Post by Stefan Kottwitz » Wed Jul 10, 2013 10:14 am

All cells in a row are still vertically aligned. In each column, the \\[2cm] made the last cell larger, while the content of this cell remains on top of its cell. Inner alignment in cells is top, outer aligment (between cells) is middle, that's what m means.

You could fix it by adding an empty invisible column:

\documentclass \usepackage \begin \begin<|m|m|m|@<>m@<>>\hline a & b & c & \\[2cm] \hline d & e & f & \\[2cm] \hline \end \end

Next time, in case of problems, it would be good to provide a minimal working example which shows the problem. Such a small but complete code which I posted here. It's not always so easy for a reader to complete it himself. Note, a poster might save time to not post a complete example, but all readers then have to invest to do that themselves, if the code requires a test.
