Separating Underlined Column Heads
I have a table in which I want two adjacent column heads to be underlined, but the underline should not be continuous between the two columns. For example, suppose each column is 2cm wide and they are separated by 0.5cm of inter-column space. The underlines should each be 2cm wide and separated by 0.5cm of blank space.
Using tabular* and \cline I can underline the two headings, but the line is a single, continuous one. I can also use \underline{} for each heading, but this looks awful (the underline is too light and too close to the words).
What's the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
