I like to have a table in asciidoc, where there is an empty row in it. The problem is, letting the row empty makes it very small automatically.
[cols="5,3,3"]
|===
|||
|===
I tried to fill the cells with spaces, +
`s , line feeds, tabs. But there is no character I know, where the cell is empty on the paper and has the normal height.
What I mean is a css-like min-height
, or a special character like
in html.
So how to force an empty table row to have the normal line height?
Found the solution by myself:
[cols="5a,3,3"]
|===
|{nbsp} +
{nbsp} +||
|===
The a
in the column definition marks this column as asciidoc-content, so that asciidoc commands will work. The {nbsp} +
is the magic keyword for an empty space, which is not like the normal space. The normal space will be ignored, the {nbsp}
is not ignored.
Hope that helps for other cases too.
