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,
