hi, The manual states that the width and alignment values can be combined. The example uses a combination of <l> and <10>. The `l' is not the best way to demonstrate this, as it looks like a `1'. The scanning reader may see <110> instead of <l10>. If the manual reads <r10>, the example is a lot more valuable. Also, in order to not rely on an example only, the text `may also combine alignment and field width' will be better if it reads `may also combine alignment and field width as a single multi letter specification within pointy brackets'
