 * How to set a rigid width or based on the contents of some columns?
   Automatically,
   for example, the first column is too stretched, and the others are too narrow
   and difficult to read because of this.

 * Thanks. Everything worked out.
 * I would like to see an option to adjust text alignment in columns vertically 
   and horizontally without adding CSS styles.

 * Hi,
 * good to hear that this helped!
 * Yes, easier alignment options are on my list of ideas for the future. At the 
   moment, I haven’t yet found a nice way to implement this, as it would require
   changes to the internal data structure of tables, which is always a bit tricky.
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
