  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When numbers are displayed in table cells, we attempt to     *
  * align decimal points. In order to align both positive and    *
  * negative numbers, we have to account for a negative sign. In *
  * cases where there are other non-number elements added to a   *
  * table cell, such as a Singleton or another table, we cannot  *
  * reliably align decimal points. In those cases, we do not     *
  * apply this alignment logic. To better visualize how the      *
  * alignment works, create at least two rows; one containing a  *
  * positive number and the other containing a negative number.  *

  * or positive number in it, you will see the decimals no       *

Problem conclusion

• When numbers are displayed in table cells, we attempt to align
  decimal points. In order to align both positive and negative
  numbers, we have to account for a negative sign. In cases where
  there are other non-number elements added to a table cell, such
  as a Singleton or another table, we cannot reliably align
  decimal points. In those cases, we do not apply this alignment
  logic. To better visualize how the alignment works, create at
  least two rows; one containing a positive number and the other
  containing a negative number. These will align at the decimal.
  If you add a singleton or table in one of the cells and then add
  either the negative or positive number in it, you will see the
  decimals no longer align. This is by design.
