Yes, this is true. But not really a problem, is it? $0 is supposed to be used only in a @N$0 context. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

When I originally read in the manual "‘0’ refers to the current row and column," I incorrectly thought that $0 would give the column number, like $#. So in the context of my misunderstanding, it seemed important, but not so much now. I don't have enough experience to say if there is any problem. I can only talk about inconsistency of perhaps uninteresting examples. To that end, the manual says "Also, if you omit either the column or the row part of the reference, the current row/column is implied." I take this to mean that $0 and @0$0 should produce the same result, but @0$0 gives 0 if the current field is empty. Or from a different angle, depending on how we enter $0 as the formula of a empty field, we can get different results: Again "|:=$0 C-c C-c" give the infinite loop; but "C-u C-c =" followed by entering $0 at the buffer gives 0. We can also get inconsistent results with column formulas: entering | | #+TBLFM: $1=$0 followed by C-u C-c * gives | 0 | #+TBLFM: $1=$0 but entering the =$0 directly into the empty field give an infinite loop. Of course, there are other variations, but all this may be just nitpicking; I can't see any practical problems. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
