I just started to use align for the first time. But somehow it does
not (yet) work as desired. I started in text mode with the lines
0 5.35 11.4
25 4.91 10.6
50 4.52 9.8
When I type C-u M-x align (with the active region being the above
three lines) I get (emacs 21.3.1)
0 5.35 11.4
25 4.91 10.6
50 4.52 9.8
What happened with the first line? What determines the indentation?
Instead, I would like to get something like
0 5.35 11.4
25 4.91 10.6
50 4.52 9.8
What do I need to align numbers by the decimal point? Has anybody a
smart regexp for that?
Thanks a lot,
Roland

M-x align-regexp
with a "space" as the regexp seems to work.
