Somewhat a quiz about how to markup tables.
Here is a table and how I would markup it:
~~~
centered, default, right, right:
----------------- ------ ---------- ---
ceeeeeeeeeell 1 cell 2 1,000,000 50
cell 5 ceeeeeeeeeell 6 50 1,000,000
----------------- ------ ---------- ---
~~~
The subject of my interest is column 4.
I would align numbers to the right and use 3 hyphens because the number 50
consists of 2 digits, and therefore using 3 hyphens is consistent with the
logic of using 17 hyphens in the 1st column and 10 hyphens in the 3rd
column. Although technically it is sufficient to use only 1 hyphen there:
~~~
centered, default, right, right:
----------------- ------ ---------- -
ceeeeeeeeeell 1 cell 2 1,000,000 50
cell 5 ceeeeeeeeeell 6 50 1,000,000
----------------- ------ ---------- -
~~~
What is the easiest to understand, to remember, and to maintain way to
markup such tables? What you think?
