384.0. "Tabs in TeX file doesn't work..." by 51336::LITBY (P-O Litby, TSSC Stockholm/Sweden) Mon May 18 1987 05:17
Why isn't it possible to use tab alignment in a TeX file included
with the <INCLUDE_TEX_FILE> tag? The TeX code
\settabs 7\columns
\+&&Inst�mmer&Inst�mmer&Ingen&Inst�mmer&Inst�mmer\cr
(just as I'm used to doing using ordinary TeX) produces the
following strange error messages:
%TEX-E-TEXERROR, Error found by TeX
%TEX-I-ONPAGE, on page [1]
%TEX-I-OUTFILENAME, 'pol:[netstart]ENKAT.DVI_LN3'
alignment tab character &.
l.2 &
&Inst�mmer&Inst�mmer&Ingen&Inst�mmer&Inst�mmer\cr
I can't figure out why you would want to use a tab mark
here. If you just want an ampersand, the remedy is
simple: Just type `I\&' now. But if some right brace
up above has ended a previous alignment prematurely,
you're probably due for more error messages, and you
might try typing `S' now just to see what is salvageable.
TeX'ing the file using ordinary TeX produces nicely aligned output,
so there must be something with the DOCUMENT version of TeX that
makes it throw up alignment characters.
What am I doing wrong?

You aren't doing anything wrong. DOCUMENT redefines \+ as the
plus-sign character. I believe we no longer use this definition
(it was required in earlier versions for various reasons). I will
see if we can take it out.
