[OS X TeX] Strange behavior of tabular / \hline

[Johan Almqvist]

A very simple workaround that may or may not work for you:



%!TEX TS-program = pdflatex
\documentclass{article}

\newcommand{\anentry}[1]{#1 \\
\hline
}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|c|}
\hline
test \\
\hline
test \\
\hline

\input{testinp.tex}


\end{tabular}

\end{document}
- ----
and this is the input file (testinp.tex):
- ----
\anentry{test1}
\anentry{test2}
