[My first post from Google Groups. Hope it's readable.]
I'm working with some semi-advanced tables with lots of decimal
numbers in, and I can't get the alignment to work. http://www.algonet.se/~gustafl/temp/output_ib.html
I want numbers aligned to the decimal point. The HTML 4 spec says User
agents doesn't need to support 'char' and 'charoff', so I wonder if
the problem is lack of support? If so, can the same results be
achieved in another way?
Next best would be aligning the number to right, but there seem to be
a problem with support for <colgroup> aswell. Am I right? Best
solution I found was to have a class for right alignment and call it
from each <td>.
Also, can someone give me a way to prevent negative numbers to break
after the minus? A solution that adds the least clutter to the code?
Would it be right typographically to replace the minus with an
'endash' (#x2013;)?
Thanks,
Gustaf

When we have multiple language versions of a confluence visit
narrative, we present them in the same page. In part this is
done for 'historical reasons', due to the design of the
database and codebase.
It should be straightforward to modify the system so that two pages
are generated, with links to each other. But it might mean some hard
work.
Yes - we pretty much know what we want to do, but to do it involves
quite a bit of work, so it's a matter of the people that can do the
work having the time to do it.
And we know there are issues with how
the confluence.php page is designed. Other than such issues,
do you(collectivel y) see it as a "problem" that we sometimes
have two(or more) versions of the narrative text on one page?
I'm not sure I see what you see as the design issue.
Things like table-based layout, validation errors, etc.
But if I read the
English text on the page, I won't see the pictures at the start.
Actually, there are no 'pictures', only thumbnails, but I know
what you mean. To really see each picture, you either have to
'click' on the thumbnail link, or use the "all pictures" links
at the bottom of the page. We have language issues with the
picture captions as well - currently, we allow multiple languages
in the captions:
http://www.confluence.org/confluence.php?visitid=8475
The
Swedish text eats up space and prevents natural layout.
Maybe not to someone who knows Swedish ;-)
Moreover, if I
didn't know Swedish, I might get a bit disturbed. Think about a page
containing first some text that is completely incomprehensibl e to you,
or just comprehensible enough to irritate you to ask what it is, or
maybe text in unknown characters.
Our philosophy has been to always have the narrative represent what
the confluence visitor submits. We always provide a version of the
narrative in English, but we do get submissions that provide narrative
text only using the native language of the person making the submission.
In such cases, we always have that language first, followed by English.
Some people have commented that they like this, because it gives them
a chance to better understand other languages, but that would also
be true if we had the different language versions on different pages.
Besides, the navigation (and some other essential parts) is in English
only.
What would I do if I only knew Swedish? (If all the rest on the
site is in English only, it would still be useful to a Swedish-only
person who found the page via Google to know what the situation is,
maybe via a short note in Swedish about the site.)
They could use our not-yet-released "translate this page" option :-)
It's simply going to make it easy to be on any page on our site,
and chose one of the online translation engines(e.g Google,
AltaVista) to 'machine translate' the page.
I do think the suggestion of a "short note about the site",
in multiple languages, is a good idea - I'll discuss it with
the other site coordinators. With confluence visits now in
148 countries, we have 'a few' language variations to deal with ;-)

Does it mean that *all* structure (or union) types have the same

from
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/msg/b696b28f59b9dac4?dmode=source
"The alignment requirement for any type T must be a
divisor of sizeof(T). (Proof: In `T array;' both
`array' and `array' must be correctly aligned.)
Since `sizeof(unsigned char)' is divisible only by one
and since one is a divisor of every type's size, every
type is suitably aligned for `unsigned char'."

I understand that the next C++ standard will have features to handle
the alignment of data types. This is good, but a bit late for me!
I've been using some template trickery to handle alignment issues for
some time. What I usually want is a type that takes the same amount of
space and has the same alignment as some other type, but which doesn't
have constructors, destructors etc. The idea is that initialisation
and cleanup can be done...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
