Abbreviation: ã|noneã%

ã|Description:ã%
There are times when it is necessary to have the baselineskip between two
lines be the same, especially if you are building a table that uses rules
between columns. The \strut markup can be used in an \halign to maintain
consistent distance between lines of a table. The \strut markup has no
parameters. Its height is 1.8 times the height of an "x" in the current
point size. Its depth is .6 times the height of an "x" in the current point
size.
ã|Example:ã%
Consider this table created without the use of \strut,
\sfs{cm8}{eightpt}{default}
\twelvept
\tabletitle{Comparison of the composition of goat's
milk and that of two common breeds of dairy cows}
{\offinterlineskip\eightpt
\halign{\vrule\hs{3pt}\lft{#}\hs{3pt}\vrule&&
\hs{3pt}\ctr{#}\hs{3pt}\vrule\cr
\noalign{\hrule}
&&\bd Total&&&\cr
\bd Source of milk&\bd Water&\bd Solids&
\bd Fat&\bd Protein&\bd Lactose\cr
\noalign{\hrule height 1pt}
Goats&82.02\%&11.98\%&3.50\%&3.13\%&4.55\%\cr
\noalign{\hrule}
Holstein-Friesian&87.50\%&12.50\%&3.55\%&3.42\%&4.86\%\cr
\noalign{\hrule}
Jersey&85.31\%&14.69\%&5.18\%&3.86\%&4.94\%\cr
\noalign{\hrule}
}}
\twelvept
which prints as:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

| of dairy cows |

| .Jersey...........85.31%..14.69%5.18%..3.86%...4.94%... |

Now add \strut to the \halign preamble,
\halign{\strut\vrule\hs{3pt}\lft{#}\hs{3pt}\vrule&&
\hs{3pt}\ctr{#}\hs{3pt}\vrule\cr
and notice the uniform distance between lines:

ã|Notes:ã%
The size of the strut changes as the interline skip changes. \twelvept will
have a longer \strut than will \tenpt.
