Hi,
I'm having an alignment issue in clock tables, both in the agenda and in
dynamic blocks.
By default, \emsp is displayed in clock tables for level 2 (or above) to
indent headings. To avoid that, I set the variable `org-pretty-entities'
to t, and in this case the alignment of the table is broken when you
regenerate it.
I currently see no solution if I want correct alignment in clock tables
without seeing \emsp.
Any idea how to achieve that?
Here's a small screen capture that shows the issue:

Thanks.

Francesco,
I reported this on September 2nd too. Hitting C-c C-c inside the table
fixes the formatting. Also moving to a position inside the table and
doing: M-x org-table-align fixes the formatting. Hence
I tried to create a new formatter function in order to re-align after
writing the table:
(defun my-formatter( ipos tables params )
(progn
(org-clocktable-write-default ipos tables params)
(forward-line 2)
(org-table-align)
)
)
and install this as the formatter, but it didn't help. If it would have
helped, I could have fixed the default table-writer by adding
(org-table-align).
Anyone an idea?
regards,
Joost Helberg

On my side, I tried another *workaround*: I call (org-table-align) in
a before-save-hook. This way, all tables are correctly aligned when
I save. I simply call:
(org-table-map-tables 'org-table-align t)
But this only works when you save and thus only for file buffers (and
you can still see the misalignment when you create/update the dynamic
blocks).
Currently I have no solution for agenda buffers when displaying clock
tables.
Any hint to fix this is welcome.

Francesco

I'm having this problem, too. The code that aligns the clocktable
seems to count the "\emsp" entity as five characters. But with
pretty entities turned on, it's displayed as only one character.
The same is true for the code that shortens the headline if the
narrow option is used.
Ciao, Stormking

For now, I have added the following code to my init.el:
(eval-after-load "org-clock"
'(defun org-clocktable-indent-string (level)
(if (= level 1) ""
(concat "\\" (let ((str " "))
(dotimes (k (1- level) str)
(setq str (concat "_" str))))))))
It redefines the function org-clocktable-indent-string to
what it was before the whole emsp thing.

Hi Stormking,
Sorry for my very late reply: I thank you very much for your workaround
which enables me to have well aligned clock tables.
I also take the opportunity to bump up this thread.
I think you correctly spotted the exact cause of our issue. Here's what
you say in a previous message:
> I'm having this problem, too. The code that aligns the clocktable
> seems to count the "\emsp" entity as five characters. But with
> pretty entities turned on, it's displayed as only one character.
To make it short: the alignment code counts "\emsp" as 5 chars, while it
is displayed as one.
I recall the small screencast here: http://screencast.com/t/qpmxDV8R543G
Anyone to fix this in the code?
Thanks.
Regards,
Francesco

Without any effect, it seems. I wonder if anybody actually uses these
features.

What character do you suggest to use instead of \emph?
"*" is not possible due to a collision with bold syntax (i.e. "***" is
parsed as a bold star).

Wouldn't it be better to fix the alignment code so it works with
pretty entities? Because that's the real problem here.

There are two problems here.
One is obviously due to misalignment when using overlays.
The other one is that \emph is not easily readable when
`org-pretty-entities' is nil.
Patches welcome.

You are right but I always have pretty entities turned on, so
it doesn't bother me that much. Wasn't it changed to \emsp
(m-dash) so it would look better in exported HTML or LaTeX?
Otherwise, I would suggest something like \-- or \__
I just tested the alignment in a generic table. I have set \emsp
to be displayed as as dash ("-"). An explicit re-align of a table
containing this entity works, but the auto-alignment that
happens while you type does not.

I have to correct myself on this one, \emsp ist a m-space, not a m-dash

See above.

Same as displaying "-".

Ditto.
