@Section @Title { Aligned columns } @Tag { aligned } @Begin @PP Columns of numbers are often presented with decimal points aligned: aligned. @Index { aligned columns in tables } @CD @Tab @Fmta { @Col A } { @Rowa A { 5^.46 } @Rowa A { 3^.4159 } @Rowa A { 5772^ } } You can produce this by placing a @Code "^" symbol just before the alignment point in each entry: @ID @OneRow @Code { "@Tab" " @Fmta { @Col A }" "{" " @Rowa A { 5^.46 }" " @Rowa A { 3^.4159 }" " @Rowa A { 5772^ }" "}" } The equals signs of equations can be aligned in the same way. The format of such columns should not contain @Code "@CC" or {@Code "@RR"}. @PP The simplest way to get a heading over an aligned column is to use the @Code "^" symbol in the heading as well. If it is not possible to do this, for example because the heading entry is a paragraph of text broken over more than one line, the most viable alternative is to use @Code "@Over" in the heading line's format to make the heading column span over the aligned column: @ID @OneRow @Code { "@Tab" " @Fmta { @Col @CC H @Over A }" " @Fmtb { @Col A }" "{" " @Rowa H { Heading }" " @Rowb A { 5^.46 }" " @Rowb A { 3^.4159 }" " @Rowb A { 5772^ }" "}" } for example produces @CD @Tab @Fmta { @Col @CC H @Over A } @Fmtb { @Col A } { @Rowa H { Heading } @Rowb A { 5^.46 } @Rowb A { 3^.4159 } @Rowb A { 5772^ } } Unfortunately, the aligned entries are left-justified in the column, not centred. @End @Section
