celltables
Given the following table:
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|}
\hline
a & b & c \\ \hline
d & e & f \\ \hline
g & h & i \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
I could find the question Padding at the top of a table cell in LaTeX, saying about changing it for a top of the whole table.
How to set the left padding for the column a and for the cell f to 0, while keeping the rest of the cells and columns with default settings?
\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}
To quote the makecell package documentation:
This macro allows optional alignment settings.
\makecell[<vertical or/and horizontal alignment>]{<cell text>}For vertical alignment you uset,b, orc—this letters you usually put in optional argument oftabularorarrayenvironments. For horizontal alignment you may use alignment settings liker,l, orc, or more complex, like{p{3cm}}[...]
To left-align contents in a makecell command, you can use the alignment option l as follows:
\makecell[l]{EEEEEE \\ FFFFFFF}
Complete example:
\documentclass[sigconf]{acmart}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{array, makecell}

Note: an above example is not moved content to left border of table but left border to content. Consequently, column is for
\tabcolsepnarrower (thank Mico for comment). For preserving equal column width (if this is requested) , this width can be added on the end of cell:which in treated case give:
