The "align=" seems to make no difference. In fact, I had tried
including it before.
Also, I'm finding that the {left,middle, middle, middle} parameters
are still ignored when using the Context syntax \NC \NR, as in:
\startformula
\startalign[n=4,align={left, middle, middle, middle}]
\NC aaa\NC b\NC cccc\NC d\NR
\NC a\NC bbb\NC c\NC ddd\NR
\stopalign
\stopformula
Interestingly enough, the alignment is slightly different than I get
when using the LaTeX syntax, but I still can't get alignment to work
correctly.
Incidentally, the reason I am using the LaTeX syntax is that we are
translating LaTeX code into Context automatically using a perl
script, and it's therefore much easier to stick to whatever LaTeX
code works. Basically, I just want something comparable to the array
environment in LaTeX, which works very nicely.
Thanks,
Bruce
