Sure, it will look aligned with whatever width of HT ">":

but it is *only true* if your SP "." and everything else is of the same
width.
People seem to repeat that without realizing what they are saying, but I
find the assumption the argument is based on quite bogus. Why do people
think it is only sane to assume flexible HT width but still monospaced
font whose SP, l and w are all of the same width?
You either forget about the alignment (there is no such thing---suck it
up), or use time honored HT=8 and monospace convention.
And this project uses the latter.
