General ⇒ CR in a table cell

How do I force a Carriage Return in a table cell?
Thanks to you all.

Hi,

you could use \newline inside table cells. Use p-columns for this purpose, or m,b-columns with the array package.

Thx!
I naïvely thought "\\" and "\newline" were synonyms.
Ciao.

Outside a tabular, they are synonyms. Inside a tabular environment, \\ is let to \tabularnewline. This is because this short control sequence should be reserved for the most common application in the current situation.
