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. - - ã|Example:ã% - -can be seen, the pool of common words is prodigious. -\par -\tabletitle{Etymological Clues} -\settabs 3 \columns -\+\it Term&\it Geological&\it Social Reference\cr -\+boss&small rock&supervisor\cr -\+domehead&pushing through&intellectual\cr -\+fossil&turned to stone&age\cr -\+creep&move slowly&person\cr -\+streak&move quickly&naked\cr -\+ejecta&very quickly&mating\cr -\+sublimate&change to gas&dream\cr -\+trench&sediments&mouth\cr - -+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -| | -| can be seen, the pool of common words is prodigious. | -| | -| Table 1 | -| Etymological Clues | -| | -| Term Geological Social Reference | -| boss small rock supervisor | -| domehead pushing through intellectual | -| fossil turned to stone age | -| creep move slowly person | -| streak move quickly naked | -| ejecta very quickly mating | -| sublimate change to gas dream | -| trench sediments mouth | -| | -+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ - - ã|Example:ã% -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.
