I think `entry' has the meaning of both, row and cell here. Looking at \multicolumn, the row is referred to, looking at \vline, is would be the cell. But who ever uses \vline anyway? Between cells, if the need ever arises, one would use `|'. Adding this to the between/before/after confusion, i agree with you and would drop that half sentence.

The following commands can be used inside the body of a @code{tabular}
environment, the first two inside an entry and the second two between
lines:

@menu
* \multicolumn::        Make an item spanning several columns.
* \vline::              Draw a vertical line.
* \cline::              Draw a horizontal line spanning some columns.
* \hline::              Draw a horizontal line spanning all columns.
@end menu

I think that text ``the first two inside an entry and the second two
between lines'' is unclear. First of all what does ``an entry'' means,
is that a cell, a row, something else ? Next \hline is not only
_between_ line, it can be after the last row and before the first one,
like in:

     \begin{tabular}{l}\hline% not between lines
     first line\\% nothing between lines !
     second line\\\hline% not between lines
     \end{tabular}

I suggest to simply remove ", the first two inside an entry and the
second two between lines", unless anybody has a better wording.


VBR,
