Editing Glossing Rules (section)

=== Alignment ===
; (1) Alignment Rule
: An object language word and its gloss need to be '''arranged vertically left-aligned'''. <ref>''LGR'' (2008): rule 1; cf. Lehmann (2004: R27).</ref> 

; Example:
{| {{Glossing table}}
|-
| style="border-right:medium solid" | ''Vorgestern'' || style="border-right:medium solid" | ''bin'' || style="border-right:medium solid" | ''ich'' || style="border-right:medium solid" | ''aus'' || style="border-right:medium solid" | ''einem'' || style="border-right:medium solid" | ''Kurzurlaub'' || ''zurückgekommen''.
|-
| style="border-right:medium solid" | the.day.before.yesterday || style="border-right:medium solid" | am || style="border-right:medium solid" | I || style="border-right:medium solid" | out || style="border-right:medium solid" | a || style="border-right:medium solid" | short.vacation || back.come
|}
{{Translation|‘I came back from a short vacation the day before yesterday.’}}

<small>
But '''not''':
{| {{Wrong glossing table}}
|-
| ''Vorgestern bin ich von einem Kurzurlaub zurückgekommen.''
|-
| the.day.before.yesterday am I out a short.vacation back.come
|}
</small>

The best way to edit this in text editing programs is by the means of invisible tables, i.e. '''tables without border lines'''. (Whitespaces like blanks or tabs are not very helpful for this purpose.)
