1) Putting an alignment tag inside a table moves the text closer to the bottom of the cell. In the screenshot, the left-hand column doesn't have an alignment tag; the others columns are centered. Notice that the vertical position of the text in the left-hand column is, very nicely, in the exact middle of the row. In the other columns, the text has slipped down to just above the bottom of the cell. This makes your rows look awfully sloppy if you have any mixture of columns with and without an alignment tag.
Example:
- Code: Select all

It's not just the center tag. Here's the same text, with a tag for align=left inserted into the left-hand column (plus a tab to keep the text from smushing flush to the left of the cell).The drop to the bottom of the cell is consistent across each row, now, but I'd prefer for the text to sit in the vertical middle of the cell.

2) When included within a table, the first paragraph of quoted text (e.g., from a RMB post) is aligned further left by default than subsequent paragraphs in the quote.

Research on this season's strain has commenced. Assistance in keeping hordes under control appreciated in the mean time.[/quote][/td][/tr][/table]
Thanks for the response!
