How to add a forced line break inside a table cell

I have some text in a table and I want to add a forced line break. I want to insert a forced line break without having to specify the column width, i.e. something like the following:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}

\hline

Foo bar & Foo <forced line break here> bar & Foo bar \\

\hline

\end{tabular}

I know that \\ inserts a line break in most cases, but here it starts a new table row instead.

You can switch your cell layout to paragraph to use the \newline command.



\begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{2cm}|}

\hline

Test & foo \newline bar \\

...

Edit:

Use the following commands instead of p if you want to specify the alignment as well:



\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\raggedright\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}

\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}

\newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}m{#1}}
