Hi all

I use org tables to estimate construction projects.  I frequently use
simple math within a table cell to help me remember what I was
thinking when I entered the data.

It seems that the new exporter does not align plain text exports in
some of these situations.  I only use plain text and html exports;
html is working perfectly.

example tables and the results I see.

* table I - good
|         |         |    |       |
|---------+---------+----+-------|
| apples  |       3 |  8 |  24.0 |
| oranges | 1.2+2.8 |  9 |  36.0 |
| plums   |       5 | 10 |  50.0 |
|---------+---------+----+-------|
|         |         |    | 110.0 |
#+TBLFM: $4=$2*$3;%.1f::@5$4=vsum(@-I..@-II);%.1f
