Hi all,
at the moment I am writing an article about the use of the Soroban (Japanese
abacus).
There are a couple of tables showing formulae. The struggle is, that the
alignment of the formulae is strange.
I use alignmentcharacter= and aligncharacter=yes for aligning the formulae in a
bTABLE…\eTABLE construct.
It appears that this causes ConTeXt to use the alignment character at the end
of the headings + 1 position.
I would be glad if someone could enlighten me how to improve the layout.
Disable the character alignment in the header with
\bTD[aligncharacter=no] Calculation \eTD
or
\bTH Calculation \eTH
because TH cell type sets "aligncharacter=no" (but uses bold font).
Another option is
\bTD \nocharcteralign Calculation \eTD
You can also divide your table into sections and enable character
alignment only in the body section, e.g.
\bTABLE
\bTABLEhead
\bTR \bTD Calculation \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEhead
\bTABLEbody[characteralign=yes]
\bTR \bTD ... \eTD \eTR
\eTABLEbody
\eTABLE
