Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multirow | Problem with Alignment

[dabd]

Hi,

I am trying to create a table with some long urls like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[tp] %
\label{table2}\centering %
\begin{tabular}{p{2cm}p{6cm}p{5cm}}
% \toprule %
\toprule
Col1 & Col2 & Col3 \\\toprule
Some text & \url{http://someurl} & Some text. \\\midrule
\multirow{2}{*}{Some common text} & \url{http://somelongurlsom.elongurlsome.longurlso.melon.gurlsomel.ongurlsome.longurlsomelongurlsom.elongurlsomelongurl} & Some text.\\\cline{2-3}
& \url{http://somelongurlsomelongurls.omelongu.rlsomelongur.lsomelongurlsomelongurl.somelongurlsomelo.ngur.lsomelongurl} & Some text.\\\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

But the "Some common text" cell is not aligned with the rest of the row. How can I keep the entire row aligned (to the top)?

Thank you.

Hi there,

My solution is not the perfect one, since it is not automatic. I would say it is a bit more of a workaround than a solution.

When declaring your multirow, use the fixup option. The fixup is a length used for fine tuning: The text will be raised (or lowered, if fixup is negative) by that length above (below) wherever it would otherwise have gone.

Once you have your table ready, try adding this fixup length. With your example, I tried with a fixup of 7, which seems to work for me. Here is the code:

Code: Select all

\multirow{2}{*}[7]{Some common text} & \url{http://somelongurlsom.elongurlsome.longurlso.melon.gurlsomel.ongurlsome.longurlsomelongurlsom.elongurlsomelongurl} & Some text.\\\cline{2-3}

Hope this helps. Cheers

I actually solved it by not using multirow! Anyway thanks for the help.
I am using normal rows and I get the desired alignment.
