Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Vertical Alignment of Tables

[Arxas]

Hello, I am having a problem with tables vertical alignment. I am trying to put two tables next to each other. The problem is one of them is bigger and I have no idea how to align the smaller one at the top, not in the middle - I want them both to start at same height.

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]
    \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
         bigger table
    \end{tabular}
    \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
         smaller table
    \end{tabular}
\end{table}

The tabular environment accepts an optional parameter for vertical alignment with respect to the current line.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \begin{tabular}[t]{|c|c|}
      Table Head & Table Head \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values
    \end{tabular}
    \hspace{1em}
    \begin{tabular}[t]{|c|c|}
      Table Head & Table Head \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values \\
      Some Values & Some Values
    \end{tabular}
  \end{table}
\end{document}
