[latexrefman-discuss] concerning node tabular, ``between the lines''

I can read there:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The following commands can be used inside the body of a @code{tabular}
environment, the first two inside an entry and the second two between
lines:

@menu
* \multicolumn::        Make an item spanning several columns.
* \vline::              Draw a vertical line.
* \cline::              Draw a horizontal line spanning some columns.
* \hline::              Draw a horizontal line spanning all columns.
@end menu
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think that text ``the first two inside an entry and the second two
between lines'' is unclear. First of all what does ``an entry'' means,
is that a cell, a row, something else ? Next \hline is not only
_between_ line, it can be after the last row and before the first one,
like in:

    \begin{tabular}{l}\hline% not between lines
    first line\\% nothing between lines !
    second line\\\hline% not between lines
    \end{tabular}

I suggest to simply remove ", the first two inside an entry and the
second two between lines", unless anybody has a better wording.


VBR,
