Use it in table entries % that are adjacent to \hline's to leave an extra bit of space - according to % the TeXbook (page 246), "This is a little touch that improves the appearance % of boxed tables; look for it as a mark of quality." % % Although you could use \bigstrut in an array, there isn't normally much % point since arrays are "opened up" by \jot anyway. % % \bigstrut[t] adds height; \bigstrut[b] adds depth. Just \bigstrut adds % both. So: Use \bigstrut[t] in the row just *after* an \hline; \bigstrut[b] % in the row just *before*; and \bigstrut if there are \hline's both before % and after. % % Spaces after the \bigstrut are ignored, even if it has an optional argument. % Spaces before the \bigstrut are generally ignored (by a single \unskip). % % Note: The multirow style file makes use of \bigstrutjot. If both styles % are used, they can be used in either order, as each checks to see if the % other has already defined \bigstrutjot. However, the default values they % set are different: If only multirow is used, \bigstrutjot will be set to % 3pt. If bigstrut is used, with or without multirow, \bigstrutjot will be % 2pt. \@ifundefined{bigstrutjot}{\newdimen\bigstrutjot}{}\bigstrutjot2pt \def\bigstrut{\relax\@ifnextchar [{\@bigstrut}{\@bigstrut[x]}} \def\@bigstrut[#1]{\unskip\@tempdima\ht\@arstrutbox \@tempdimb\dp\@arstrutbox \ifx #1b\else \advance\@tempdima by \bigstrutjot\fi \ifx #1t\else \advance\@tempdimb by \bigstrutjot\fi \hbox{\vrule \@height\@tempdima \@depth\@tempdimb \@width\z@}\ignorespaces}
