Documentation issues with halign as outer style? #665

Description

@Explorer-cc

The issues arisen from my answer here:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[paperheight=10cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularray}
\usepackage{showframe}
% https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/680307
\NewTblrTheme{naked}{
  \DefTblrTemplate{foot}{empty}{}
  \SetTblrTemplate{foot}{empty}
  \DefTblrTemplate{head}{empty}{}
  \SetTblrTemplate{head}{empty}
}
\begin{document}

\begin{longtblr}[
    entry=none,
    label=none,
    theme=naked,
    halign=l%<-
]{colspec={ll},hlines,vlines}
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
    A & B \\
    C & D \\
\end{longtblr}

\end{document}

It works, but in the documemtation, there is no envidence that halign could be accpeted in outer style:

Here below is the code:

tabularray/tabularray.sty

Lines 4139 to 4166 in 6b921ea

\__tblr_keys_define:nn { table/outer }
{
long .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { portrait } { long },
tall .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { portrait } { tall },
halign .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { halign } {#1},
baseline .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { baseline } {#1},
l .meta:n = { halign = l },
c .meta:n = { halign = c },
r .meta:n = { halign = r },
t .meta:n = { baseline = t },
T .meta:n = { baseline = T },
m .meta:n = { baseline = m },
M .meta:n = { baseline = M },
b .meta:n = { baseline = b },
B .meta:n = { baseline = B },
valign .meta:n = { baseline = #1 }, % obsolete, will be removed some day
expand .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { expand } {#1},
expand+ .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gconcat_spec:nn { expand } {#1},
headsep .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { headsep } {#1},
footsep .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { footsep } {#1},
presep .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { presep } {#1},
postsep .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { postsep } {#1},
theme .code:n = \__tblr_use_theme:n {#1},
caption .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { caption } {#1},
entry .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { entry } {#1},
label .code:n = \__tblr_outer_gput_spec:nn { label } {#1},
unknown .code:n = \__tblr_table_option_key:Vn \l_keys_key_str {#1},
}

From the documentation, that is hard to realize that halign could also control the longtblr's centering.

My question is:

  • Whether I missed some details in the documentation?
  • Is halign=l the "correct" method to left align the whole longtblr?
