body: <p>Is there a way to to specify the vertical alignment of table cell contents in markdown/pandoc?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Details:</strong><br>
  The default behavior is center alignment, I want cell contents to be aligned to the top of the cell. For an example of the default behavior:</p>
  
  <pre><code>|           |               |
  |-----------|---------------|
  | Something | This is a very long line that breaks into two. This is a very long line that breaks into two.This is a very long line that breaks into two.This is a very long line that breaks into two.|
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The contents of the left cell in the example above will be vertically-centered. </p>
