How to left align elements in a jqmath table

Question

If I try to create a table in jqmath, it always centers the elements. So if I write

$$\table a , b ; c , dddddddddddd ;$$

then I get

a          b
c    dddddddddddd

How do I make jqmath align the columns to the left, so that the table is displayed as

a    b
c    dddddddddddd

Answer 1

All you need to do is style the appropriate tags.

<style type="text/css">
mtd, .fm-mtd  {
    text-align:left;
}
</style>

This is demonstrated in the following fiddle.

jqMath behaves differently on differing browsers. By default, Chrome displays the text using left alignment, whereas Firefox displays the text using center alignment. Chrome uses <td class="fm-mtd"> while Firefox uses <mtd>. The tag used depends upon whether the web browser supports MathML.
