I would like the numbers to be aligned by multiplication signs on this table. I have tried to use the option table-format in what it looks like the right way to me, but actually I haven't found any explanation about it in the booktabs documentation.



Are there other options I could use? And do you also know where to find a good documentation about them?

          Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections.
