I am trying to get this table rendered with right aligned columns. But they do not get aligned right. Do they get a css class so I can style them?

Hello @partnerwerk,

the best way to do this, is to export with markdown-themeable-pdf to HTML and then inspect the HTML.

I've added this issue as ~question for ~v2 and will check the markdown specs for the text-align option. It must also be checked if the used modules support this feature.

The HTML output is ok. It looks like this:

<tr>
<td style="text-align:left">text</td>
<td style="text-align:left">text</td>
<td style="text-align:right">text</td>
<td style="text-align:right">text</td>
</tr>

However the created pdf has no right text align as one might expect from this source.

That's right ... weird behavior ...

Generated HTML

Generated binary

..., but I found the reason:

If you need the change immediately, I would recommend you to edit the following file and remove the highlighted code area. Then you have to restart Atom. The package files are locatet in your atom/packages folder.

• https://github.com/cakebake/markdown-themeable-pdf/blob/master/lib/markdown-themeable-pdf.js#L325-L338
• https://discuss.atom.io/t/atom-config-directory-locations/38862

The code above should prevent ugly table breaks when they span multiple pages. But it did not help, because it's a common Chromium / Phantomjs problem.

The version you are using is no longer being developed. In version 2, everything fits already. This will be published soon.
