I've been trying out xtables and reading the manual, some things I can't find how to do (or if it's possible on xtables):

1. How to align whole columns. It seems I have to add [align=middle] to each cell I want to have centered in a raggedright aligned table. In tabulate you can use [|l|c|] to do this, is it possible in xtables? Seems weird if it's not. Or did I miss something?

2. I know how to use [option=stretch] to fill the textwidth, but can I make specific columns "tight", so they don't get stretched beyond their content?

3. When I use [option=tight] sometimes columns are narrowed so much as to break a line of 4 or 5 words. MWE:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\startplacetable[location=none]
%\startxtable[align={middle,lohi},option=tight] % This makes the first column too narrow. Lines are not that long

\startxtable[align={middle,lohi}]

Can I make this table to be "tight" but only so much as to allow "short lines" (i.e: lines that don't make the table go wider than textwidth). I can do it with manual width, but wondering if it's possible.

Thank you .
