Can table extensions be added to support:

- Merged Cells,
- Alignment & Text Justification
- Text Wrapping

Maybe one can use the syntax for tables found here: [GitHub - jeffreytse/jekyll-spaceship: 🚀 A Jekyll plugin to provide powerful supports for table, mathjax, plantuml, mermaid, emoji, video, audio, youtube, vimeo, dailymotion, soundcloud, spotify, etc.](https://github.com/jeffreytse/jekyll-spaceship) . This does not have automatic text wrapping through it has manual text wrapping.

It would need to be added to [GitHub - raphlinus/pulldown-cmark](https://github.com/raphlinus/pulldown-cmark) first

I noticed that my tables don’t seem to support alignment — everything is centred.

This thread was first search result on here, but when I follow the link and look at [GitHub - pulldown-cmark/pulldown-cmark: An efficient, reliable parser for CommonMark, a standard dialect of Markdown](https://github.com/raphlinus/pulldown-cmark) today it does say:

> it optionally supports parsing footnotes, [Github flavored tables](https://github.github.com/gfm/#tables-extension-)

So, does that mean that Zola today does actually support table alignment?

If so then perhaps it is a deficiency of my theme…
