The  \leader markup  is  most often  used in  the  \tableofcontentsformat in
conjunction with a  page number.   It produces dot leadering.   You can also
use \leader in an \halign.
 
    ã|Example:ã%
This example using leaders also illustrates the use of \indent in \halign.
 
The average annual costs of owning buildings in terms of
{\it taxes, insurance, maintenance,} and

Taxes&1.00\cr
Insurance&.75\cr
Maintenance repairs&2.00\cr
Depreciation&4.00\cr
Miscellaneous&.25\cr
