Asciidoctor User Manual. Tables are one of the most intricate, yet refined areas of the Ascii. Doc syntax. Armed with a bit of knowledge, you should discover that they are both easy to create and easy to read in raw form. Yet, under all that simplicity, they are remarkably sophisticated. Tables are delimited by and made up of cells. The default table data format is PSV Prefix Separated Values, which means that the processor creates a new cell each time it encounters a vertical bar. Cells are grouped into rows. Each row must share the same number of cells, taking into account any column or row spans. Then, each consecutive cell in a row is placed in a separate column. The simple table example below consists of two columns and three rows. Simple table 12. Cell in column 1, row 1 Cell in column 2, row 1 34. Cell in column 1, row 2 Cell in column 2, row 2. Cell in column 1, row 3 Cell in column 2, row 3. The tables content boundaries are defined by a vertical bar followed by three equal signs. Inserting a blank line before the first row is a trick to ensure the first row is not treated as the table header. The new cell is marked by a vertical bar. Rows can optionally be separated by any number of blank lines. Examples reflect the 6th edition, 2nd printing 2010 of the Publication Manual APA Style Guide to Electronic References, 6th ed.

Cell in column 2, row 2. Cell in column 3, row 2. When the cells of a row are individually entered on consecutive lines, the cols attribute is needed to specify the number of columns in the table. If the cols attribute is not set, the first non blank line inside the block delimiter determines the number of columns. Cells on consecutive, individual linescols3 1. Cell in column 1, row 1.

The next sections describe and demonstrate the variety of ways you can customize table cells, rows and columns. The number of columns in a table is determined by the number of cells found in the first non blank line after the table delimiter or by the values assigned to the cols attribute. For example, the syntax in the two examples below will both render a table with two columns. Cell in column 1, row 1 Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 1, row 2. Cell in column 2, row 2. Result Rendered table with two columns as defined by the number of cells in the first row. Cell in column 1, row 1. Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 1, row 2. Cell in column 2, row 2cols2.

Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 1, row 2. Cell in column 2, row 2. When a single number is assigned to the cols attribute, its value indicates the number of columns. Each column will be the same width. However, the number of columns can also be assigned as a comma delimited list. The number of entries in the list determines the number of columns. The comma delimited list below creates a table with four columns of equal width. This syntax provides that same result Now, lets talk about that asterisk in the syntax above. The Ascii. Doc syntax provides a variety of ways to control the size, style and layout of content within columns. These specifiers can be applied to whole columns. To apply a specifier to a column, you must set the cols attribute and assign it a value. A column specifier can contain any of the following components multiplieralignwidthstyle. Each component is optional. The multiplier operator is used when you want a specifier to apply to more than one consecutive column. If used, the multiplier must always be placed at the beginning of the specifier. For example cols3 1. Cell in column 1, row 1. Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 3, row 1. Cell in column 1, row 2. Cell in column 2, row 2. Cell in column 3, row 2. The table will consist of three columns, as indicated by the 3. The operator ensures that the default layout and style will be applied to all of the columns. Result Rendered table with multiplier applied. Cell in column 1, row 1. Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 3, row 1. Cell in column 1, row 2. Cell in column 2, row 2. Cell in column 3, row 2. The alignment component allows you to horizontally or vertically align a columns content. Content can be horizontally aligned left lt, center, or right. 2003 Lexus Is300 Manual Transmission. To horizontally center the content in all of the columns, add the operator after the multiplier. Cell in column 1, row 1. Cell in column 2, row 1. Cell in column 3, row 2. Result Rendered table with horizontal, center alignment applied to all columns. Cell in column 1, row 1.

Inside the Infamous Malek ManualOne resource that sheds light on how whistleblowers are maltreated is called The Malek Manual. I first learned about it in 2. Lewis FAA case. The so called Malek Manual is an 8. Nixon administration, which notably ended with the resignation of a U. S. president on 897. Also notably, the practices discussed within The Malek Manual resulted in the 1. Civil Service Reform Act CSRA. Some aspects of politics are quite predictable, including the fact that any new president can appreciate the advantages of cleaning out those civil servants who are or might become disloyal to that new presidents political agenda. The unique thing about The Malek Manual is that here, under Nixon, was a very methodical compilation, showing  who to get rid of and how best to do it. Some could reasonably argue that this conservative extremism was in response to the Vietnam protests, and to the attack felt by release of the Pentagon Papers. This has since become known as The Malek Manual, but in fairness to Mr. Fred Malek, this may be a misnomer. In fact, to be completely fair to Mr. Malek, he has declared the true author was Alan May in 1. Washington Post and National Journal. Mr. Maleks blog statement includes a theory that his name was used after it was found in my files because a copy was sent to me as a courtesy. I found it distasteful. But did not in fact have anything to do with creating it. Maybe not, but deeper research shows that HEW employees in the late 1. Mr. Malek to be a gung ho hatchet man he had been appointed as a deputy secretary that Mr. Malek was then appointed to Nixons Whitehouse, as personnel director under Haldeman, in 1. Nixons reelection and, that he was a lead director within CREEP, the committee to re elect the president yes, the people behind Watergate. So, putting Mr. Malek in the best possible light, perhaps he did not directly author any portions of The Malek Manual, but it looks like he may have had a great influence indirectly, with his groundwork in the Whitehouse, from 1. The first few pages discuss past presidencies, focusing on efforts by Kennedy and then Johnson to clean out disloyals. This theme repeats often in later portions of the 8. Malek Manual alleged shenanigans by the Johnson and Kennedy administrations are found at pages 3 5, 7, 3. At pages 1. 9 2. It suggests assignment one of four letters to civil servants, so as to decide which are worth keeping loyal to the president, which need to be watched, and which should be gotten rid of. The letters are K for keep, O for out, as in go away, L for lets watch this fellow, and N for neuter. Wow It looks like 1.

A qualified individual who can ordinarily be depended on to follow instructions but cannot be regarded as personally, on his own volition, a member of the team. Many pages of boilerplate follow, describing the different types of appointments, the appointment process, and other materials that will stretch your eyelids. Then, at page 5. 3, a quick mention is made of the Geographic Reassignment Method. Yes, it implies things may be getting more interesting if you read on when it states, geographical reassignments are frequently used as a hopeful removal technique and these are outlined in Section III, Chapter 3 of this Manual. Sure enough, in the final nine pages of the 8. Malek Manual, the real meat gets ground with Chapter 3 Techniques for Removal Through Organizational or Management Procedures. This is the internal black playbook, the how to for destroying your undesirable employees. It leads off with this The Civil Service system creates many hardships in trying to remove undesirable employees from their positions. Because of the rape of the career service by the Kennedy and Johnson Administrations, as described in the Introduction, this Administration has been left a legacy of finding disloyalty and obstruction at high levels while those incumbents rest comfortably on career civil service status. The Malek Manual then summarizes how difficult a firing can be, and goes on to present some alternative techniques. The actual pages, with some emphasis and color to improve readability, are provided by ai. REFORM at this link ai. R link  Tricks to help you, the ever caring federal manager, to work around the cumbersome rulebook yeah, those worthless guidelines that actually support the right of your employees to be disloyal. How about a Frontal Assault Technique Or, a Transfer TechniqueOr, you might consider either the Special Assistant Technique or the Layering Technique. Then, too, we have the Shifting Responsibilities Isolation Technique and the New Activity Technique. So many creative ways for federal managers to build up their federal pension while destroying the lives of whistleblowers and their families. Be careful, though some of the more clever disloyalists are developing tactics, so be sure to also read about Bureaucratic Countermeasures. Wow. Reminds me of the Spy vs. Spy cartoon in the old Mad magazines I read back thenisolating those bureaucrats who have not quit in disgust into meaningless technical positions out of the mainstreamFinally, the conclusion. Heres the entire paragraph. I have taken the liberty to add yellow highlights for portions that most trouble me, as an FAA whistleblower forty years later. Oh, as for neutering of the undesirablesMine happened 2. FAA Air Traffic Controller career, though thankfully I was only fired on 1. Malek Manual, at pgs. CONCLUSION There is no substitute in the beginning of any Administration for a very active political personnel operation. Whatever investment is made in positions, salaries, systems, training and intelligent work in this area, will yield a return ten fold. Conversely, the failure to invest what is necessary to a political personnel program, will cost the Administration and the Department or Agency fifty fold what they might otherwise have invested. These estimates are borne out by experience. Where Departments and Agencies, and Administrations, have failed to invest the manpower and other necessary aforementioned items into an effective political personnel program blindly paying lip service to such a function and proceeding immediately to invest heavily in the management and program functions they have only been plagued by such folly. The time consumed of high level Administration appointees, and the manpower and expenses involved in the creation of firefighting forces, caused by acts in attempt to frustrate the Administrations policies, program objectives and management objectives, as well as to embarrass the  Administration, engaged in by unloyal employees of the Executive Branch, as far exceeded the investment a political personnel operation would have required.
