latex table heading help...

[Srivathsan Srinivas]

Hi,
     I have the following table. I have an issue with the headings of the individual columns. For example, the first heading "Related Work" is in a single line. I really want it to appear in two lines -- as -- "Related \\ Work"  ....the word 'Work' should appear **below** the word 'Related'. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

A working code is below.



\usepackage{tabularx}  % for better, more flexible-column tables
\usepackage{multirow}  % for multirow, multicolumn
\usepackage{booktabs}  % For very nice tables
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}  % for coloring table rows and columns.

\renewcommand{\multirowsetup}{\centering}
\newcommand {\otoprule}{\midrule [\heavyrulewidth]}  % This is for getting a bold horizontal line in the

Since the code does not compile on its own, I would have to go by
faith here...

I've used the package makecell for many instances where I want to put
2 (or more) cells on top of one another in a similar way that multirow
does it, but where multirow didn't yield adequate results. Consider
reading the package documentation, available online via CTAN from:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/makecell/

Something as simple as
\makecell[c]{Related \\ Work}
for the 2-line table heading entry would work...

Hope this helps,
Werner

\usepackage{array}
and then in the header line, replace the cells you want multilined with
\multicolumn{1}{b{2cm}}{Related Work}
(set whatever width is needed). The b format works like standard p format,
but aligns on the bottom line of content, not the top line.
