How to add space between paragraphs

Post by olilo »

I have a document with some space (probably 1pt) between paragraphs.

But in a tabular environment, the space between paragraphs becomes null.

I've tried to set parksip inside the tabular environment but it does not work.

What can I do to add some space between paragraphs in the table ?

Here is a sample table:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{ccp{11cm}}
  \scalebox{0.500000}{\includegraphics{tip.png}}
  &
  \raisebox{5mm}{\strong{Note:}}
  &
  \vspace{-2.5\baselineskip}
  First line of text.

  Second line of text.
\end{tabular}
So, how can I have some space between first line and second line of text ?

Thank you.

I found a solution:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parskip}{2mm}
in the column you want to format:

Code: Select all

    \begin{tabular}{ccp{11cm}}
      \scalebox{0.500000}{\includegraphics{tip.png}}
      &
      \raisebox{5mm}{\strong{Note:}}
      &
      \vspace{-2.5\baselineskip}
      \setlength{\parskip}{2mm}
      First line of text.
    
      Second line of text.
    \end{tabular}
PS:: I've tried hard to use

Code: Select all

\setlength{\parskip}{1pt}
but it does not seem to work.

does not seem to work because 1pt is too small to be noticed.

Stupid I am :(
