begin{minipage}[t]{0.5textwidth}

produces two side-by-side minipages that start with a horizontal line. The left minipage contains ordinary text. The right minipage contains a table. The horizontal lines are at the same height. The baselines of the text are not:



enter image description here



I want that the baseline of the ordinary text (on the left) is the same as the baseline of the text in the first cell of the table (on the right). This would require either moving the text down, or moving the text in the table up.



What I tried:





  • renewcommandarraystretch{0} eliminates the top padding, but it also eliminates the bottom padding and changes the height of the cells


  • Setting arraystretch to 0 and then replacing table rows by



    TEXT & TEXT \[0.5ex]


    seems to eliminate the top padding and to do roughly what I want, but I would prefer to not contaminate every line of the table with non-DRY magic numbers.




What would be the proper way to align the baselines in the text (left) and the table (right)?

Here is an explicitation of my comment: adding a strut in the first line of the left-hand side tex lowers this line exactly at the same level as the first row of the tabular:

    All you really need to do is to match the first line of the minipage with the first line of the tabular (and use arraystretch = 1).



    documentclass[12pt]{article}

                  All you really need to do is to match the first line of the minipage with the first line of the tabular (and use arraystretch = 1).



                  documentclass[12pt]{article}
                  begin{document}

                  %defarraystretch{1.5}
                  hrule
                  noindent
                  begin{minipage}[t]{0.5textwidth}
                  TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT\
                  TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT TEXT
                  end{minipage}
                  begin{tabular}[t]{rc}
                  TEXT & TEXT \
                  TEXT & TEXT \
                  end{tabular}

                  end{document}
