Aligning inside tabular environment, specific cell
You can use \multicolumn{1}{l}{<content>}
for to_the_left
to switch the cell alignment just for this cell. If you want to have a vertical line you need to use l|
instead, otherwise the line is missing for this cell.
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|}
\hline
111111 & 222222 \\
\hline
right & \multicolumn{1}{l|}{left} \\
\hline
1 & 2 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
There is a "solution" that avoids \multicolumn{1}{l}{...}
but it's really a hack:
right & left\hfill\vadjust{} \\
The \hfill
alone won't do, because LaTeX works hard to remove all space from the end part of a cell. Instead of \vadjust{}
also \penalty0
or \nobreak
can be used.
A \multicolumn{1}{l}{...}
is, probably, more visible and easier to change in case it's not needed any more.
