I have some text outside of a tabular environment, and also some text inside a tabular environment. I would like the text outside the tabular environment to be aligned with the text residing in the first row of the tabular environment.
Currently, the text outside the tabular environment is too low relative to the text inside the tabular environment.
MWE:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage[left=3mm, right=3mm,top=30mm,bottom=5mm,includehead=true,headsep=3pt]{geometry}
\begin{document}
In the context of using the itemize environment...
\begin{itemize}
\item I would like to have the text outside my table \quad \begin{tabular}{| b{26mm} | b{26mm}|} be in line with & the text inside \\ \hline blah blah blah & blah \end{tabular} the table.
\item but the word ``table'' (outside the tabular) is too high relative to the word ``be'' (inside the tabular).
\item Any thoughts?
\end{itemize}
\end{document}
And a screenshot of my output:
