@Pesala I don't know what decimal aligned is (and if that's even possible on markdown), but for the other three, you do it this way:
| Col 1 | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 | |:-------------|:-------------:|-----------------------------------------------|--------------:| | Left Aligned | Centred | [Markdown Help](https://commonmark.org/help/) | Right Aligned | | **Bold** | ~~strikeout~~ | **_Bold Italic_** | 12345.67 |
Tables Generator is a pretty good website for making markdown tables more easily.

@Pesala That's not something markdown can do native. You write additional html for that in your markdown file, but that’s not possible on the forum.

@AltCode Decimal alignment, aligns columns of figures around the decimal point. Right aligned is usually good enough, unless there are more digits after the decimal point in some cells:
Thanks that fixed it.
