<?tbcboxl>
Description
<?tbcboxl> allows you to adjust the left hand edge of individual cells depending on the hash rule width of the cells that they stack above/below. This is the corresponding command to <?tbcboxr> which allows you to control the right hand edge. Note that this command has no effect on cells that sit on the baseline of the box row and has no effect if the cell you are stacking above/below doesn’t have a <?tbcrhash> value set.
Syntax
<?tbcboxl num:n>
|
num
|
|
0
|
The left hand edge of the cell is the left hand edge of the left-most column that it spans (default).
|
|
1
|
As 0, but instead of using the column edge it uses the edge of the leftmost cell upon which it directly stacks.
|
|
2
|
The left hand edge of the cell is the left edge of the hash rule width of the leftmost cell.
|
|
3
|
As 2, but the cell is slightly wider to allow for any cell rules and padding, so that the resulting left hand edge of the text measure is the left edge of the hash rule width of the leftmost cell.

Additional Information
The example below shows a boxhead in green, where <?tbcboxl> and <?tbcboxr> have been used to shrink the widths of cells that stack on top of others, using <?tbcrhash=2> to specify the longest line as the default hash rule for each cell.
