- ã|Description:ã%
-The body of the table is created with the \settabs n \columns markup, which
-establishes a number (n) of equal-size tabular columns (\columns).
- Each new column after the first is indicated with the TEXT1 tab
-character (&). Each row is started with the \+ markup and ended with the
-\cr markup (which is an abbreviation for carriage return on typewriters).
- The ampersand (&) is like the TAB key on many typewriters; it tells
-TEXT1 to advance to the next tab position, where there is a tab at the right
-edge of each column. But & is not exactly like a mechanical typewriter
-TAB, because it first backs up to the beginning of the current column
-before advancing to the next. In this way you can always tell what column
-you are tabbing to, by counting the number of &s; that is handy, because
-
-variable-width type otherwise makes it difficult to know whether you have
-passed a tab position.
- The ampersands are different from tabs in another way, too: TEXT1
-ignores spaces after &, hence you can conveniently finish a column by typing
-& at the end of a line in your input file, without worrying that an extra
-blank space will be introduced there. Incidentally, TEXT1 also ignores
-spaces after \+, so that the first column is treated like the others.
- You can say \cr before you have specified a complete set of columns, if
-the remaining columns are blank. The last \cr ends the settabs. No other
-ending is necessary; normal text may follow.

-You may not want all of the columns to be the same size, so there is another
-way to set them, by typing "\+sample line\cr" immediately after \settabs.
-In this case tabs are placed at the positions of the &s in the sample line,
-but the sample line itself does not appear in the output. Look through
-the table and determine the biggest entry in each column; the sample line
-is then constructed by typing the widest entry in the first column, then
-the widest in each subsequent column, omitting the last column. Be sure to
-include some extra space (\horizontalspace{}) between columns in the sample
-line, so that the columns won't touch each other.

-If you want to put something right justified (flush right) in its column,
-just type \rt{text} where text is the text to be right justified; Be sure
-to type & after it, so that TEX will be sure to move the information all
-the way until it touches the next tab. Similarly, if you want to center
-something in its column, type \ctr{text} where text is the text to be
-centered. Notice also the use of \phantom in decimal alignment.

- ã|Notes:ã%
-
-Tab positions are remembered, until they are reset with another \settabs,
-regardless of text and other markup following.
- The operation of tabs addresses one line at a time; this allows multiple
-page tables.
- You cannot use \figure, \drawbox or \paragraphbox around a \settabs.
- Refer to The TEXbook for more on \phantom.
