[Enhancement] Column Alignment (Spellcheck List + Reports)

$
0
0
What/Why

When aligning data in columns, it's typically a good idea to:
  • Text = left-aligned
  • Numbers = right-aligned
    • Aligning on decimal if needed.
  • + Match headings with the data's alignment.

This allows you to more easily read/compare rows with your eyes.

A few months ago, I made a similar report in Sigil here:

h1    9        0
h2    52        0
h3    0        182
h4    0        61
h5    0        0
h6    0        0

would change to this:

Code:

(Left)  (Right)  (Right)
Level  Included  Hidden
h1            9      0
h2          52      0
h3            0    182
h4            0      61
h5            0      0
h6            0      0

(All "ones"/"tens"/"hundreds" align.)

Similar alignments can probably be used in other number-columns throughout Sigil.

I'm thinking:
  • Spellcheck List's "Count" column
  • The numbers in Tools > Reports

would be easier to read with right-alignment too. :)

Code:

File Size
123.34
56.78
9.00
1.23

vs.

Code:

File Size
  123.34
    56.78
    9.00
    1.23




Calibre Dialogs With Alignment Issues

I believe these dialogs could use a touchup:
