[Tex/LaTex] spacing in the table’s minipage

line-spacingminipagesetspace

In my thesis I have a lot of tables and some of them have a minipage for notes. For all thesis I'm using 1.5 in spacing. For this I'm using \linespread{1.5}. But I don't want the same spacing for minipage into the tables. That is, for the minipage inside the table should have 1.0 in spacing. How can I do that?
Thank you.

Don't use the fairly low-level \linespread command to change from single-spacing to, say, one-and-one-half-spacing. As you've discovered, it affects not only the main body of the text but also the material inside minipages, tabular and array environments, footnotes, and so on.

Instead, load the setspace package (ideally with the option nodisplayskipstretch) and then execute the package's \setstretch command, say, \setstretch{1.5}.

\usepackage[nodisplayskipstretch]{setspace}
\setstretch{1.5}

The setspace package also offers macros with fairly descriptive names --\singlespacing (equivalent to \setstretch {1.0}), \onehalfspacing, and \doublespacing -- as well as environments with these names.
