In this paper, Daniel J. Bernstein used horizontally stretched lines see this (page 7). I was trying to do the same. I saw this question, but none of the answers could produce the desired result. Can anybody help?

  • Do you want it stretched to a fixed width, say \textwidth, or do you just want the ability to add arbitrary space between the column elements?

  • @StevenB.Segletes Arbitrary spacing between column elements may not look fancy (I am dealing with probability values- up to 4 places of decimal). I think the style used here is add space to the elements to make the number of digits equal to 3.

  • carefully compare the space around the commas between "triplets" in this last example with the corresponding commas as shown in the original questions. in the original, there is no "extra" space following a comma between adjacent full triplets. this effect can be obtained by entering the commas as {,}; see the texbook, p.134.

This is using the under-development tabstackengine package, first introduced here at Writing a table with equally spaced columns, based on the widest column (source code available at Measuring align).

The package extends the stackengine package by adding tabbing capability. This answer, Can I tab inside of align environment?, gives some of the syntax of the package. I apologize that I have been lax in completing the package and getting it out the door, so the only way to see it in action is by searching this site for tabstackengine.

In this case, a tabbed long-understack allows a uniform gap between each column to be set, in this case, I set the tab to .5ex (the "long" means each row is of uniform baseline-to-baseline spacing, and the "under" means that the overall baseline is set at the top row of the stack). I did require several \rlaps/\phantoms as corrections for the closing parenthesis, and a \phantom to widen a column with only 2 digits of data.

  • I think the use of \kern1.1ex in column 5 should be replaced with \phantom{1}. Also, why the final \kerns?
    – Werner ♦
    Commented Feb 1, 2014 at 18:16
  • @Werner The final kern before the & makes sure the last number aligns with the last number in the row above, rather than with the semicolon. The final kern following the & moves the paren to the left, so that there is no gap between the final number and the right paren. In column 5, I used a kern because it needed to be protected and \protect\phantom{1} took more typing than a kern, but you are correct it should be that. I'll revise and correct the missing links, too.

    For the final \kerns, you could also use \rlap{):}\phantom{;} (with some protection, perhaps). I think it's always good to use \phantoms to have proper alignment, rather than using font-specific widths.
