% (C) 2006-2022 Josselin Noirel % % Package cellspace: Ensuring a minimal spacing of table cells. % % This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License. See % https://www.latex-project.org/lppl/ . This package is intended to allow automatic spacing out of the lines of an array. People often complain about text touching the \hline of a tabular when it is too high or too deep. For example (with the amsmath package) a \dfrac{1}{2} surrounded by \hlines touches the horizontal rules. This package provides a modifier S to usual column types (l, c, r, p, m, and b) that ensures a minimal spacing between rules and cells of an array. v1.6: New feature as suggested by Bastien Roucaries: an option [math] has been introduced, which allows to use cellspace's features into matrix environments. v1.7: New features as suggested by Bastien Roucaries: (1) Possibility to change the name of the column used for spacing; (2) Make the math column independent of the colum name. v1.8.1: Package becomes aware of the latest modifications of the array package. Also the GitHub project is referenced in the documentation. v1.9.0: The new implementation solves a problem with empty cells for paragraph-type columns (m, p, b) by testing whether \prevdepth is greater than 1000~pt. The package has now been made aware of the new implementation of \@endpbox of array.

cellspace – Ensure minimal spacing of table cells
It is well known that high or deep cells tend to touch the \hlines of a tabular. This package provides a modifier S acting on usual column types so that to ensure a minimal distance that can be controlled through two parameters \cellspacetoplimit and \cellspacebottomlimit.
The approach employed by this package is noticeably simpler than that of tabls, which considers the dimensions of each entire row; whereas you can ask the cellspace only to look at the cells of potentially difficult columns.
The package depends on ifthen, array, calc, and xkeyval.
