horizontal alignmenttables
I'm trying to align a specific content of a single cell.
For example,
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|}
\hline
1 & 2 \\
\hline
right & to \_ the \_ left \\
\hline
1 & 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
Is it possible to_the_left to be aligned to the left, but to leave all others on the right? Is it even possible to align (cell contents) inside an already defined tabular environment?
Due to technical reasons (or let's say bidirectional typesetting bugs of XeTeX), you need to put list-like environment inside \parbox or minipage environment. Therefore the solution is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bidi}
\setRTL
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|p{5cm}|}
\hline
\textbf{item 1:} These are some texts to just fill in the first line.
\tabularnewline
this is the second Item which still needs to be indented
\parbox{5cm}{\leavevmode%
\begin{itemize}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\end{itemize}}
\\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
or
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{bidi}
\setRTL
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|p{5cm}|}
\hline
\textbf{item 1:} These are some texts to just fill in the first line.
\tabularnewline
this is the second Item which still needs to be indented
\begin{minipage}{5cm}
\begin{itemize}
\item item 1
\item item 2
\end{itemize}
\end{minipage}
\\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{array,ragged2e}
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\Centering}m{#1}}
\begin{document}
{\def\arraystretch{1.5}
\begin{tabular}{ C{1.8cm} | C{1cm} }
Problem & $\beta$ \\\hline
LCR-1 & 0.25 \\\hline
LCR-10 & 0.05 \\\hline
LCR-0.2 & 0.575 \\\hline
Airplane & 0.05 \\\hline
DR & 0.27
\end{tabular}}
\end{document}

You can use
\multicolumn{1}{l}{<content>}forto_the_leftto switch the cell alignment just for this cell. If you want to have a vertical line you need to usel|instead, otherwise the line is missing for this cell.
