+# Patch for new header options
+
+I have written a small patch for this plugin to enable the first column as a header instead of just the first row or no header.
+
+In my version, there is three options for the header field :
+
++ **no**: no header;
++ **col**: the first column as header;
++ **row**: the first row as header (for compatibility reason, **yes** is an alternate value for this option). 
+
+Here is the links to the patch and to a patched version of the plugin :
+
++ [table.pm.patch](http://alexandre.dupas.free.fr/code/ikiwiki/table.pm.patch)
++ [table.pm](http://alexandre.dupas.free.fr/code/ikiwiki/table.pm)
+
+I hope this might be intresting for some ikiwiki user's.

+# Horizontal cell alignment
+
+Do you know any easy method of horizontal cell alignment? I know I can set `class`
+attribute for the table, but how to set different `class` for different cells?
+
+[DokuWiki](http://www.dokuwiki.org/) has a nice horizontal alignment solution.
+Suppose that we have `|foo|` cell. If I want to align the cell to left,
+then I should type `|foo |`. If I want to do right alignment, then I type `| foo|`.
+For centering cell content I need to type `| foo |`. Please note that I used
+only one space for all examples, but in DokuWiki I can use many spaces.
+
+Do you like it? Can you implement the same in Ikiwiki? :) --[[Paweł|ptecza]]
