Hi,
Personally, I prefer to use an extension for this case.
I believe the following code help you. You can use this code with appending
them to your conf.py.
```
from docutils import nodes
from sphinx.transforms import SphinxTransform
class AdjustTableAlign(SphinxTransform):
default_priority = 500
def apply(self):
if self.app.builder.name != 'latex':
return
for node in self.document.traverse(nodes.table):
node.attributes.setdefault('align', 'left')
def setup(app):
app.add_post_transform(AdjustTableAlign)
```
I know the python code is a bit harder to understand and to maintain it.
But this does not touch the LaTeX macros directly, so this way is a
bit robuster than
writing LaTeX macros.
Thanks,
Takeshi KOMIYA
