Subject: splash screen column alignment
Date: Tue, 01 Jun 2021 15:26:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fsy1mziq.fsf@Proteus> (raw)

Depending on the size of the font I use, alignment of the text in the
*GNU Emacs* buffer (which is done with single tabs) may or may not work
properly. I’ve found this would be fixed by starting with 2 tabs
separating the columns, and then running:
(align-regexp (point-min) (point-max) "\\(\t\\)[A-Z]")
as part of the construction of the buffer.
I’ve attached some images showing
• the expected behaviour appearing by luck
• the flaw
• the fix (with whitespace mode enabled to highlight the point).
