makecell alters vertical alignment across table row












2















Consider this example:



documentclass{report}
usepackage{makecell}
usepackage{lipsum}
begin{document}
begin{tabular}{p{3cm}p{3cm}}
lipsum[1][1] & lipsum[1][2-4]\
lipsum[1][5] & makecell[l]{A\B\C\D\E}
end{tabular}
end{document}


The output is:



enter image description here



As can be seen, the use of makecell altered the vertical alignment in the rest of the row. How to bring the vertical alignment of the affected row in harmony with the rest of the table (starting from top)?

          The default for makecell is centred, both vertically and horizontally. You could use makecell[lt]{A\B\C\D\E}.



          However, why use makecell in a pcolumn type? You may as well use this code:



          documentclass{report}
          usepackage{makecell}
          usepackage{lipsum}
          newcommand{nl}{newline}

          begin{document}

          begin{tabular}{p{3cm}p{3cm}}
          lipsum[1][1] & lipsum[1][2-4]\
          lipsum[1][5] & Anl Bnl Cnl Dnl E
          end{tabular}

          end{document}
