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 |`.
