Line breaks are not special within the table body, and you may break input lines in your source file as necessary. </p> <span id="index-headitem"></span> <span id="index-Heading-row_002c-in-table"></span> <span id="index-_003cthead_003e-HTML_002fXML-tag"></span> <p>You can also use <code>@headitem</code> instead of <code>@item</code> to produce a <em>heading row</em>. The TeX output for such a row is in bold, and the HTML and DocBook output uses the <code><thead></code> tag. In Info, the heading row is followed by a separator line made of dashes (‘<samp>-</samp>’ characters). </p> <span id="index-headitemfont"></span> <span id="index-Font-for-multitable-heading-rows"></span> <p>The command <code>@headitemfont</code> can be used in templates when the entries in a <code>@headitem</code> row need to be used in a template. It is a synonym for <code>@b</code>, but using <code>@headitemfont</code> avoids any dependency on that particular font style, in case we provide a way to change it in the future. </p> <p>Here is a complete example of a multi-column table (the text is from <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>, see <a data-manual="emacs" href="../emacs/Split-Window.html#Split-Window">Splitting Windows</a> in <cite>The GNU Emacs Manual</cite>): </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@multitable @columnfractions .15 .45 .4 @headitem Key @tab Command @tab Description @item C-x 2 @tab @code{split-window-vertically} @tab Split the selected window into two windows, with one above the other. @item C-x 3 @tab @code{split-window-horizontally} @tab Split the selected window into two windows positioned side by side. @item C-Mouse-2 @tab @tab In the mode line or scroll bar of a window, split that window. @end multitable </pre></div> <p>produces: </p> <table> <thead><tr><th width="15%">Key</th><th width="45%">Command</th><th width="40%">Description</th></tr></thead> <tr><td width="15%">C-x 2</td><td width="45%"><code>split-window-vertically</code></td><td width="40%">Split the selected window into two windows, with one above the other.</td></tr> <tr><td width="15%">C-x 3</td><td width="45%"><code>split-window-horizontally</code></td><td width="40%">Split the selected window into two windows positioned side by side.</td></tr> <tr><td width="15%">C-Mouse-2</td><td width="45%"></td><td width="40%">In the mode line or scroll bar of a window, split that window.</td></tr> </table> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Previous: <a href="Multitable-Column-Widths.html">Multitable Column Widths</a>, Up: <a href="Multi_002dcolumn-Tables.html"><code>@multitable</code>: Multi-column Tables</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
