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:

h4     0         61
h5     0         0
h6     0         0

would change to this:

(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.

File Size
123.34
56.78
9.00
1.23

vs.

File Size
   123.34
    56.78
     9.00
     1.23

Calibre Dialogs With Alignment Issues

I believe these dialogs could use a touchup:

Tools > Check Spelling (Alt+F7)



- Count -> Right
- Language -> Left

* * *

Tools > Reports

Files



- Size (KB) -> Right

Words



- Times used -> Right

Images



- Size (KB) -> Right
- Times used -> Right

Characters



- Times used -> Right
