Nope. By default all alignment is left. You have to specify center. You can leave it as left, but it’s gonna look funky in both desktop and especially mobile modes. By using the center alignment you ensure that every cell lines up with the table headers properly and it will auto-space both the header and cell width to match each other when both table header and cells have the center alignment element.
Also, forcing center on both ensures that even if the text/images are of varying sizes and/or lengths respectively, the header and cell data will still line up due to the auto-adjustment as you enter the code into the editor.
Just be aware that if you’re using mixed HTML/markdown like in the example in my post that I fixed for you, you won’t be able to manually resize the image to fit properly. It’ll be whatever size the image really is, which if you have large ones can really screw up a table.
Try the same table with a second row of data, just to make sure that it auto-corrects for larger text length and/or image sizes. Otherwise you might run into rows whose cells are offset in the same table, which is ugly. Make sure the second row has a longer name in the acronym column (for testing purposes) and a larger picture than the first row).
That may change as more rows are added. There may also be a way to specify column widths, but that’s beyond my scope.
The “Acronym” column may look left-aligned because the table code used here automatically resizes the width of each column based on the number of characters in each “cell”. Or, at least that’s how it appears to work.
Yeah, I get that. And that’s what I was trying to achieve. But, now that I’ve had time to think about it, I believe DogBone wants the whole column centered. So, I’ve taken the code you posted above and modified it a little. I’ve also added more rows.
Syntax used:
