Extra space in tables

Post by pooley343 »

Hi everyone.

I just need a little bit of help regaring tables.

I have a table but I want a little bit of extra space between the text and the horizontal lines.

I have tried using \noalign{\smallskip} but I am using vertical lines between columns and this creates a small gap between rows.

Is there a setting that changes the gap between text and horizontal lines, or is there a command that adds space but doesn't affect the vertical lines?

Thanks.

Use the booktabs package and abandon vertical lines to improve the legibility of the tables.
