All, I noticed that the regular expression for recognizing what columns are numeric in a table for purposes of right-aligning does not pick up dollar values with commas.
For example, $23,821,415.18 would be treated as "text" and left-aligned, which I don't believe is what one would expect. It can be fixed by customizing the variable org-table-number-regexp, like so: ^\([<>]?\(\$ *\)?[-+^.,0-9]*[0-9][-+^.0-9eEdDx()%:]*\| ... \)$ ^^^^^^^^ ^ Adding the underlined parts. My question is should this not be the default, perhaps with the Euro symbol and other likely currency symbols added in? Regards, -- ==================================================== Daniel E.
