Hi John,
Thank you very much for responding so rapidly. This will save me from
having to replace all of the markdown tables with html versions, making
things much friendlier when I collaborate and, of course, ideal for
me as well.
I am not a programmer and just joined github. I noticed just now that my request was not properly formatted (I had put in an example of <td style="left-align>blah.. </td>, etc and see that the table elements were stripped out. My apologies.
Pandoc is a lovely tool. Thank you so much for your time and effort.

I am brand new to Pandoc but a big fan! However, when converting a markdown table constructed as a default style, markdown to html output should be simply that -- no alignment styles should be applied: e.g. output should be blah..., not blah....
The problem is that the inline styles overrule any defaults applied in a .css file and also create verbose code. Because specific alignments are already available in markdown, it does not make sense to have the default option replicate one of them.
Thanks
