See attachment. The final value of the "align=" list is repeated for any leftover columns, and align=middle is default, of course.
Cheers, taco
Thanks a lot! Works perfectly. Aditya
PS The alignment preamble uses \hskip instead of \tabskip, because that was the only solution I could find that does all intercolumn spacing correct while still allowing endlessly repeating columns.

Hi,
Is it possible to have allow math matrix column alignments to be configurable, on the lines of align={left,left} of \startalign. I want to be albe to say
\startformula \startmatrix[align={right,left}] \NC x \NC = a + d \NR \NC y \NC = d \NR \stopmatrix \stopformula
to give me x = a + d y = d
This is a contrived example. The actual equation that I want to type is
\startformula \text{Let }{\cal R} = \bigcup_{P_{X_1},P_{X_2}} \left\{ (R_1, R_2) : \startmatrix[distance=0.1em] \NC \hfill R_1 \NC < I(X_1 ; Y \mid X_2) \hfill \NR \NC \hfill R_2 \NC < I(X_2 ; Y \mid X_1) \hfill \NR \NC \hfill R_1 + R_2 \NC < I(X_1,X_2 ; Y) \hfill \NR \stopmatrix\right\} \stopformula
All these manual hfills look ugly.
Is matrix the wrong way to go about this? Should we rather have a aligned environment like amsmath? Or is there a simple alternative that I have overlooked?
Thanks Aditya
