The text in the column is the name in the tax table, so if you've
called it 20% then that's what will be printed.  Mine are "VAT 20%" etc.

As for alignment, see below for a updated code block.

      (if (tax-col column-vector)
        (addto! row-contents
          (gnc:make-html-table-cell/markup
            "number-cell" ;; For right alignment
             (if invoice? ;; Or cust-doc? for svn/trunk version 
              (if (gncEntryGetInvTaxable entry) (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetInvTaxTable entry)) "")
              (if (gncEntryGetBillTaxable entry) (gncTaxTableGetName (gncEntryGetBillTaxTable entry)) "") 
             )
       )))



Regarding the "if invoice?" v's "if cust-doc?".

I am using the latest source and some variable names have changed in the latest code.
