Do you any other use case other than center a cell ?

This issue is a generalization of #13368. The main objective is to have as much flexibility and features as an HTML table would provide us with.

At one point I considered that the solution to the table problem would be to have php generate an html table which would then be given to the Table helper, which in turn, would convert it to something that can be rendered in a console.

Thus the main points of interest are:

• Background/foreground coloring
• Alignment
• Cell merging
• Border styling

@tomzx in #13438, I used TableCell where we can can specify data for cell,
so I think this is an easy task and I see 2 ways to fix this:

1- Introduce a new TableCellStyle:

$table->addRow([new TableCell("data", ['style' => new TableStyleCell()]), 'data']);

2- add more option in table TableStyleCell:

$cellOption = [
    'rowspan' => 1,
    'colspan' => 2,
   'format' => '%s',
   'align'    => 'left',
];
$table->addRow([new TableCell("data", $cellOption), 'data']);

@fabpot what would be your preferred way ?

I also recently had a need to have odd/even table row colors or a way to individually color a row/cell. So 👍 for this.

I also recently had a need to add background color to some cells depending on the context. So 👍 for this.

Is there any update?

I think someone needs to implement it and submit a pull request. Sounds like an interesting feature to me.

@fabpot , is it still needed?

I think so :)

So what would you prefer? TableCellStyle / options array as stated above or some:

$table->setFormatterCallback(function ($col, $row, $value, $options) {
    $options['format'] = $col == 0 ? '<error>%s</error>' : '<info>%s</info>';

    return $options;
});

@fabpot ping )

+1, Need availability for styling table cells. I'd prefer declarative definition (via array or TableCellStyle).
