Adjusting horizontal table spacing

Post by Sagil »

I'd like to adjust the space LaTeX puts between the content of cells in a tabular environment. Basically I need to squeeze a table just a tiny little bit. Specifying a smaller columnwidth with p{} doesn't work as it causes cell content to wrap. It sounds like there should simply be some parameter to adjust, but I don't know which?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Modify the length \tabcolsep. It is one of the parameters that control the formatting of the tabular environment.
