Subject: text alignment in table
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2015 11:40:47 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150407114047.03d49f33@localb.wexfordpress.net> (raw)
Given this table:
\starttabulate[|l|l]
\NC 8:00\emdash noon \NC Ordering/opening/training\NR
\NC \NC Food~preparation\NC\NR
\NC Noon\emdash 2:00 PM \NC Luncheon~sales\NR
\NC 2:00 PM\emdash 7:00 PM \NC General administration/baking \NR
\NC \NC Supplier meeting (this is you) \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
----------------------------
the Word "Food" is left justified in the
column (good) and the word "preparation"
is right justified (bad). The same problem occurs
in the string "Luncheon sales." The glyph "~"
doesn't help.
I also tried the table variation in chapter
twenty-two of "The TeXbook". That doesn't work
in MKIV.
My last resort is to introduce a one page pdf from
the InDesign-created pdf. But the must be a
Context solution.
