Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Vertical Spacing in Paragraph within Tables

[craq]

When the inter-line spacing in a table is set with e.g. \\[2ex], and the column is formatted as a paragraph, the reference point is the first line of the paragraph. This makes it difficult to get a homogeneous spacing between rows. Does anybody know how to do this without trial and error?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular*}{10cm}{p{4cm}p{6cm}l}
	line 1    &   A lot of text which will be broken over at least two lines, and a big gap below it &\\ [10ex] 
	line 1    &   less text &\\ [10ex] %this 10ex space is much bigger than the previous 10ex space
	line 2    &   A second line of text with a smaller gap below it &\\[1ex]
	line 3    &   A third line of text&
\end{tabular*}
\end{document}

Hi,

you could redefine \arraystretch instead, such as

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{3}
