cell boundary line issue when using multirow + shortstack

I am attempting to create a table that makes use of four consecutive multi-rows (if the reason for why this format has been chosen is important I can add it). I am using the multirow package as well as the shortstack command to execute linebreaks in each row. The text in the table is displaying as it should, but the cell boundaries are behaving as if the table was a group of single line rows.



The code that I am using is as follows: 



documentclassarticle
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagemultirow

begindocument
begintabularc
hline
multirow3*Name & multirow3*Website & multirow3*shortstack[c]e-mail \ phone & multirow3*shortstackline 1 \ line 2 \ line 3 \
hline
endtabular
enddocument


The result is sad:



enter image description here



Due to the simplicity of the input, I'm quite stumped. I would be greatly appreciative if someone can tell me why this is happening or recommend a smoother way of accomplishing my goal.



Thanks!

  • @marmot, there will be many of these multirow rows. I was using a singular row to illustrate my issue.

    Yes, but this is precisely the reason why it does not work as you want it to work. If you use multirow, you want to make sure that you have multiple rows. At least for the example you show, makecell might be a better choice. (As for the example you do not show, I can't say much since my crystal ball got stolen.;-)

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
