These tests were done with the 2.7 build on May 27, 2002.
These values still work for the 2.8 and 2.8.1 builds, September 1, 2003.
Rob Schluter's original definition: "Use the align attribute to align the audioscope with the preceding text. The align attribute accepts any of nine values: top, middle, bottom, left, right, texttop, absmiddle, baseline, and absbottom. The default value for align is baseline."
As you can see from the above, apparently only "baseline" and "middle" still work for the 2.7 build.
Let's look at two more values:
Each scope above is 200 pixels wide. No table contains them. So now we have two more values that work, in addition to the first two: "left" and "right," and "middle" and "baseline" (default).
Let's move on to "absmiddle" and "absbottom."
Well, looks like we can scratch these two from the list above. We still have only "left" and "right," and "baseline" (default) and "middle."
One value left: "texttop," which from its name ought to align a scope with the top of a text line.
For the last test, we'll combine two align values, "texttop" and "middle" around a group of words.
Now that we've conducted our tests, we can revise the paragraph about the attribute ALIGN:
"Use the align attribute to align the audioscope with the preceding text. The align attribute accepts any of five values: middle, left, right, texttop and baseline. The default value for align is baseline."
