In tabularx, when the X-column wraps on more than one line, l/r/c-columns remains top aligned: MWE:
\begin{tabularx}{5cm}{lXr}
1 & qwer asdf zxcv qwer asdf zxcv qwer asdf zxcv & 1 \\
2 & qwer asdf zxcv & 2
\end{tabularx}
If we redefine the X-column the result is near what I wanted but not at all:
\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{b{#1}}
\begin{tabularx}{5cm}{lXr}
1 & qwer asdf zxcv qwer asdf zxcv qwer asdf zxcv & 1 \\
2 & qwer asdf zxcv & 2
\end{tabularx}
Why redefining \tabularxcolumn to put a paragraph on bottom (or middle) changes to bottom all columns but X-column?
This is not exactly what I want. The first column must be top aligned and the third must be bottom aligned. Like this:
\begin{tabularx}{5cm}{cXr}
1 & qwer asdf zxcv qwer & \\
& asdf zxcv qwer asdf & \\
& zxcv & 1 \\
2 & qwer asdf zxcv & 2
\end{tabularx}
Would be even better if the space that X-column lefts on all other columns (in this case two lines on bottom of first column and two lines on top of third column) may be filled, e.g. with a central dot or whatever.
