><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

for data that has varying lengths for the decimal value:

<table>
<tr>
  <td align="right">26</td>
  <td>.</td>
  <td>83</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td align="right">13</td>
  <td>.</td>
  <td>913</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td align="right">4</td>
  <td>.</td>
  <td>3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
  <td align="right">1234</td>
  <td>.</td>
  <td>37823</td>
</tr>
</table>

or, for dollar amounts (or other numbers where the same number of characters
to the right of the decimal is the same across all numbers displayed):

<table>
<tr><td align="right">26.83</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">13.92</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">4.30</td></tr>
<tr><td align="right">1234.38</td></tr>
</table>

good luck,

.jeff
