Left align table on slide using Slides Extended plugin

What I’m trying to do

Have the Slides Extended plugin put tables on the left-hand side of the page instead of the middle, when presenting via HTML.

Why I want to do this: I want to print to PDF and then present from my tablet, using my stylus to annotate by hand as I go, either live or recording voice-over screen capture. Therefore I want all the content on the left, with white space on the right for drawing pictures and adding hand notes (and ideally at the top of the slide too).

Background: Previously, I had been transferring content from Obsidian to Keynote to present, which was inefficient and led to my lectures being split across two programs. I want all the content in one place, ready either to upload to a learning management system (copy as html very handy), or to present directly from Slides Extended, or to print to PDF and present from tablet with annotations. Is there a better way to accomplish what I’m trying to do?

Things I have tried

  • added “center: false” to the header section of my Obsidian note. That shifts titles and text and images to the left. Which is what I want! But it doesn’t affect the position of the tables. Hence my question.
  • Read a bit about CSS and got lost. If the answer is that I have to learn CSS then that will be a summer project.
  • Read a bit about revealjs and got lost.

I think I found the answer: [Discontinued] Advanced Slides - Create markdown-based reveal.js presentations in Obsidian - #182 by MSzturc

wrap the table in ::: block (table here) :::

that makes the table set on the left side of the page when I have “center” set to “false”

you can also set the font size for the table, as explained in the post linked to above.
