\edit# breaks deluxetable

[joeharr4]

In deluxetables, the \edit1{} macro eats an alignment tab after it or else the newline and all alignment tabs on the next line. It behaves differently with and without longrotatetable. It behaves differently if font commands are used. The code below demonstrates a number of variations.

The code below compiles to produce this PDF:

edit1breakstables.pdf

There is some correct, non-compiling code after \end{document}. The docs place no restrictions on how to use \edit1{}.

Thanks,

I find the \edit# code baffling, but I can confirm that the following MWE (with the correct number of alignment columns and focusing on only 1 possible parameter) produces an unpassable error:

\begin{deluxetable}{lll}
\tablehead{ \colhead{Col1} & \colhead{Col2} & \colhead{Col3}}
\startdata
data1 & data2 & data3 \\
data1 & \edit1{data2} & data3 \\
\enddata
\end{deluxetable}
