Align columns of tables at other alignment characters than & #3144

Closed flenzen closed 1 year ago

Describe the feature and the current behavior/state

At the moment, the feature “align columns” aligns the alignment characters & in the TeX Code. I request that it also supports other character sequences as alignment points, most importantly (for me), \&.

Who will benefit with this feature?

Anyone who uses TikZ' and tikz-cd's ampersand replacement=\&-feature.

Any Other info

When working with tabular material in TikZ (e.g., using tikz-cd, or TikZ' \matrix command), it is often customary to use the option ampersand replacement=\& which, well, makes \& and not & the code for alignment points. For example, when using tikz-cd, this is necessary if matrices occur e.g. as labels of arrows inside a commutative diagram. This is also necessary if one places a tikz-cd diagram on a beamer slide, unless one wants to use the [fragile] option of beamer.

Sorry, I missed that I already asked this a while ago, upon which you reacted already.
