[FEAT] Align text in a DataTable #3638
Description
It might be nice to have a convenient method to align text in a DataTable, for example to right-align numerical values, or center everything in a table.
I know that cells can contain Rich Text objects, but I just wonder if the alignment could be handled by the DataTable instead. Perhaps the alignment could be defined by column (similar to the tables in Rich)?

Being able to set an id or a class on a column to apply styling rules would be nice.

Textual CSS only works with widgets, so I don't think this could work with
Tablecolumns. I was thinking something more likeadd_column(justify="right").github-actions commentedon May 31, 2026
I hope I solved your issue!
