Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Skip Separator in new Line of Table

[wannabegeek]

Hi all,

I am making a table with tabular. I want to skip the row separator in select lines but I haven't seen or figured out a way to do this.

I do not want a separator associated with 'Export', 'Coregistration', etc...
I left all my code inplace and commented, in case any of my optional packcages
disrupt normal behavior.

TIA !

An adequate problem description would contain a minimal example that is compilable as provided. So, next time please check your examples for functionality and minimal content. People are rarely motivated to find out the code that is missing to make examples compilable.

Regarding the problem you should not use a double \\ to insert a blank line. You are better with adding some additional space by the optional argument like \\[2ex].

Thanks Thorsten for your interest...

The code below is minminal and tested.

I have never heard of the [2ex] option but not surprised, since the most basic TeX functions are typically not researched or well understood by myself and others.


Because I am advancing a line, it seems that I am stuck with the line separator.

I tried \newline inside the tabular but that didn't work....I really thought it would have. If there is not a concrete way to turn off the line separator on a given line then I suppose I need a trick.

TIA again!

Fixed it !

I was thinking that the column separator was triggered at the \\.
Once I realized that I needed to code the text as a single column, I
was able to google to the right answer.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{multirow}
\multicolumn{2}{l}{/Export} \\[1.5ex]  

I hope this helps someone else in the future.
