# 5.5. Positioning Tables

## 5.5.1. Horizontal Alignment

The horizontal alignment of a table can be controlled by setting the align parameter of the table filter. The permitted values are:

Value | Meaning
Left | left-align the table
Center | center the table
Right | right-align the table
Inner | align the table with the inner margin
Outer | align the table with the outer margin

Note: The wide parameter changes the left indent of a table to include the sidehead of a page. Therefore, the wide parameter will impact the horizontal positioning of any table which is not right-aligned.

## 5.5.2. Vertical Positioning

Value | Meaning
Float | next column if necessary
Pagetop | top of the next page
Columntop | top of the next column
Lefttop | top of the next left-hand page
Righttop | top of the next right-hand page
