@itemxUse the @itemx command inside a table when you have two or more
first column entries for the same item, each of which should appear on a
line of its own. Use @itemx for all but the first entry;
@itemx should always follow an @item command. The
@itemx command works exactly like @item except that it
does not generate extra vertical space above the first column text.
For example,
@table @code @item upcase @itemx downcase These two functions accept a character or a string as argument, and return the corresponding upper case (lower case) character or string. @end table
This produces:
upcasedowncaseThese two functions accept a character or a string as argument, and return the corresponding upper case (lower case) character or string.
(Note also that this example illustrates multi-line supporting text in a two-column table.)
