The more I think about your questions, the more I think Django could use
a |get filter that would be similar in spirit to the |slice filter.
|get would be used to get an attribute or index of an object. Then you
could use:
<div align='{{ align|get:forloop.counter0 }}'>
This |get filter is something I just made up, so it is not available to
you, though.
In this case, you can use CSS to achieve what you need:
<style>
{% for al in align %}
td.align{{forloop.counter0}}: { text-align: {{al}}'; }
{% endfor %}
</style>
...
{% for col in row %}
<td class="align{{forloop.counter0}}">{{col}}</td>
{% endfor %}
(I've probably scrambled the proper CSS attributes, you get the idea.)
