I'd like to ask the community for which Jira markup can I use to left-align table heading titles.

[Rudolf Arada]

Hello,

I am adding a table in my Jira card using mark-ups as follows,

|| Setting || Result ||
| Setting 1 at Config 1 | Result of this setting (description) |
| Setting 2 at Config 2 | Result of this setting (description) |
| Setting 3 at Config 3 | Result of this setting (description) |

And I'd like to know which mark-up I can use for the column heading titles Setting and Result to be aligned to the left (not centred).

Thanks!

One hack is rather than using two pipes to signify headers, make the header text bold. The background of the row isn't gray, but it still stands out as a header row. i.e.

|*Setting*|*Result*|
|Setting 1 at Config 1|Result of this setting (description)|
|Setting 2 at Config 2|Result of this setting (description)|
|Setting 3 at Config 3|Result of this setting (description)|

Really cool.

Thanks Payne, I've done that approach in some of my tables. Sometimes, having the gray background for the header is good to see as well :)

AFAIK, there is no markup to allow you that, so you will need to tweak the CSS of your JIRA, but that will affect all tables. Would that work for you? If so, we can elaborate further.

Thanks Jose. Happy to leave my table as is, for now.
