如果表格中的单元格中有文本，如何将文本添加到与单元格最右侧对齐的同一个单元格？

Question

If I have text in a cell within a table (that is automatically aligned to the left, which is fine), how can I also add text to the same cell just aligned to the far right of that cell?

For example, the HTML code below, I need to add an asterisk to the very far right of the cell that currently reads " <td>Ctrl ⌘ N</td> " . How can I do this?

<table class="shortcutTable">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th class="narrow" lang="en">Shortcut</th>
      <th lang="en">Action</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Ctrl ⌘ N</td>
      <td lang="en">Quick Note</td>
    </tr>

The CSS float property will do what you want. If you have a CSS file already linked in your page, you can make a class for it, but if you just want to put it right in with the HTML, try:

<td>Ctrl ⌘ N<span style="float: right">&ast;</span></td>
