Vertical alignment in table cells - change to top-aligned or make configurable

[JaniceManwiller]

In GitBook tables, all cell content is centered vertically. This is fine for a spreadsheet-like table of numbers, but does not work for text tables.

Our documentation has tables with cells that contain multi-line text - couple of examples:

• Summary list
• Side-by-side comparison lists

The vertical alignment makes the tables much more difficult to read. Text tables should always be top-aligned. The top alignment works regardless of the number of lines in a given cell.

At the very least, it would be nice to be able to configure the vertical alignment in table cells.
