Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Different fontsize for different rows

[spramanik]

Hi Latex users,

How can I change the font size for different rows within a table? When I use commands like \scriptsize at the beginning of a particular row, it just changes the first entry of the row (not the whole row and my table has 10 columns in it).

Also, is it possible to right justify a column while using p{width} feature?

Thanks,
Santanu

Hi,

for the ragged right text, you can use the >{...} construct provided by the array package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{c>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{7cm}}
  text & \lipsum[1] 
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

For the font size issue, I think that you'll have to use the font-size changing commands in every cell; of course, one could define a command with ten arguments to facilitate a little the job, but I am not sure that it's worth it.
