ColumnAlignments

ColumnAlignments
is an option for the low-level function GridBox that specifies how entries in each column should be aligned.

	Center	centered (default)
	Left	left justified (aligned on left edge)
	Right	right justified (aligned on right edge)
	"."	aligned at decimal points
	"c"	aligned at the first occurrence of the character c
	{pos₁,pos₂,...}	separate settings for each column in the grid

Lists of settings are used cyclically if there are more columns in the grid than elements in the list.

With the setting ColumnAlignments a column will be right justified if the character c appears nowhere in it.

You can insert invisible \[AlignmentMarker] characters in the entries in a grid to specify how these entries should be aligned.

Align entries right in the first column, and align them left in the second column:
