There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks! I bundled a couple of fixes before merging: table column alignment (:---, :---:, ---:) wasn't being applied, so cells and checkboxes always rendered left-aligned. Both now follow the column alignment. Thanks again for working on this!

…ent (zed-industries#56179) Follow up: zed-industries#53465 For Markdown tables, headers are now always centered (ignoring column alignment), matching standard Markdown rendering behavior. For HTML tables, headers default to center but respect explicit `align` attributes. This also propagates alignment to paragraphs and headings inside table cells, not just the cell container itself.

## Summary Markdown preview tables kept text pinned to the top of a row when a neighboring cell contained a taller image. This made mixed text-and-image tables look unbalanced and inconsistent with common editor behavior. This change makes table text stay visually centered within taller rows so Markdown tables are easier to scan and match expected rendering more closely. ## Before / After | Before | After | | --- | --- | | <img width="849" height="869" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-08 at 19 55 50" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b3751bff-3750-4ca1-8997-6f5265e4d291" /> | <img width="898" height="734" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-08 at 21 47 31" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d853c0a1-800c-4a2a-aec9-e0ef08453fa7" /> | ## References Inspired by comparing this with VS Code preview <img width="1286" height="878" alt="Screenshot 2026-04-08 at 21 54 06" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8dbbfe28-9980-4012-94f1-1b5b3503065b" /> Release Notes: - Improved Markdown preview table cells to vertically center content in tall rows and respect column alignment from the table header. --------- Co-authored-by: Smit Barmase <heysmitbarmase@gmail.com>
