[texhax] Indentation in tables

The space you're seeing is the non-zero \tabcolsep or \arraycolsep, that is
the space between columns in tables or arrays.

One solution is to set it to zero but then the columns will touch each
other. The other solution is something like

\begin{table}{@{}ccc...ccc@{}}

The @{} replace the normal spacing (anything inside the {} is used instead).
