<span id="itemx"></span><span id="index-Two-named-items-for-_0040table"></span>
<span id="index-itemx"></span>
<p>Use the <code>@itemx</code> 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.
</p>
<p>Use <code>@item</code> for the first entry, and <code>@itemx</code> for all
subsequent entries; <code>@itemx</code> must always follow an <code>@item</code>
command, with no blank line intervening.
</p>
<p>The <code>@itemx</code> command works exactly like <code>@item</code> except
that it does not generate extra vertical space above the first column
text. If you have multiple consecutive <code>@itemx</code> commands, do
not insert any blank lines between them.
</p>
<p>For example,
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@table @code
@item upcase
@itemx downcase
These two functions accept a character or a string as
argument, and return the corresponding uppercase (lowercase)
character or string.
@end table
</pre></div>
<p>This produces:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>upcase</code></dt>
<dt><code>downcase</code></dt>
<dd><p>These two functions accept a character or a string as
argument, and return the corresponding uppercase (lowercase)
character or string.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>(Note also that this example illustrates multi-line supporting text in
a two-column table.)
