 * I wanted to ask if tablepress has some easy place to list where you can do things
   like vertical align text/objects in cells.
 * I see a lot of support request of people asking for this. And you provide one-
   by-one solutions. But why aren’t these things included in the “drag and drop”
   interface? Or in the table styling options.
 * And you could also have a centralized list of these different styling options.
 * more importantly, why arent these options in some kind of widget or pallet toolbar
   within the plugin to where I can easily insert these things. If people are searching
   and posting support tickets for this, then it is implied that the plugin needs
   a more intuitive way to allow users to insert some formatting.
 * I’m not saying the css block shouldn’t be there. Just saying the idea of a visual
   editor is to make things more point/clicky

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post and for your feedback! I really appreciate it!
 * Indeed, for table styling and layout options, TablePress currently requires the
   use of CSS code. I fully agree that this is an area where the plugin can be improved!
 * The reasons why a user interface for such changes is not available are very broad.
   The internal data structures that TablePress uses, possible performance implications,
   my personal developer skills, and more play a big role here.
 * That said, I’m currently working on a visual default table style customizer, 
   which will allow changing things like the table colors, spacing, etc. from within
   a user interface (with color pickers, etc.). While this won’t yet allow per-cell
   changes in individual tables, I hope that it will be a starting point towards
   table styling with less and less CSS code.
 * Again, thanks a lot for proving such valuable feedback!
 * Best wishes,
   Tobias
