<cell>

The <cell> tag is used to define entries in a <row> which itself is contained in a <tabular> environment. Each <cell> has options to modify its bottom and right borders, horizontal alignment of the contents of that cell, or indicate via the colspan option how many columns in the given row that cell should occupy.

Horizontal alignment can be adjusted on a per-cell basis, but usually one defines alignment for <col> tags, instead. Vertical alignment can only be adjusted at the level of a <row> or the entire <tabular> level.

Additional examples from the <tabular> or <table> tags demonstrate many other variations which are possible.
