## Message

```
markdown: Improve table cell alignment (#53465)

## Summary

Markdown preview tables kept text pinned to the top of a row when a
neighboring cell contained a taller image. This made mixed
text-and-image tables look unbalanced and inconsistent with common
editor behavior. This change makes table text stay visually centered
within taller rows so Markdown tables are easier to scan and match
expected rendering more closely.

Release Notes:

tall rows and respect column alignment from the table header.
