Laying out subheadings
Quick reference
To define the justification of a subheading above its columns when the axis forms the columns of a table, type:
n23heading_text; hdpos=x
x is l for left justification, r for right justification or c for centered text (the default).
More information
Unless directed otherwise, Quantum centers n23 texts above the elements to which they refer. To left‑justify the text above the columns to which it refers, add hdpos=l to the n23. To right‑justify the text, add use hdpos=r. (hdpos=c is also available for centered text but since this is the default you are unlikely to need it.)
The example below uses hdpos=l for the main heading and the subheadings Sex and Age, and hdpos=r for Visited Museum Before:
l ban01
n23Visitors to the Museum;hdlev=1
n10Base
n23Sex;hdlev=2;hdpos=l
