I'd like to construct tables using macros to align syllables with other text. For that task, I defined a table with no separation between columns. This, however led to words being stuck together if connected with an ampersand.



Substituting with xstring and StrSubstitute does not work for macros like hspace or phantom, and , strangely produces an error. Naturally simple written spaces are ignored by the tabular environment. How could the space be inserted?




Here's a dummy example. First, a version with no substitutions. Then one with ,,. Finally, the wanted result. For me, this example compiles with errors about inserting a missing } in Overleaf. But it does produce the correct result.



documentclass[12pt]article
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackage[english]babel
RequirePackagexstring

begindocument

begintabular@*8l@
Wo-&ah we're & half way there, && Wo-&oah & livin' on a prayer \
StrSubstituteWo-&ah we're & half way there, && Wo-&oah & livin' on a prayer& &,, \
endtabular

Wo-ah we're half way there, Wo-oah livin' on a prayer

enddocument


Here's what it looks like:
