@itemx
Use 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 @item for the first entry, and @itemx for all
subsequent entries; @itemx must always follow an @item
command, with no blank line intervening.
The @itemx command works exactly like @item except
that it does not generate extra vertical space above the first column
text. If you have multiple consecutive @itemx commands, do
not insert any blank lines between them.
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:
