With $CleanupPresentationalAttributes=true (default in 1.19) 'align' parameters are replaced with 'text-align' CSS. This works for <div>, BUT for a <table> this is wrong (since 'text-align' affects only the text inside the table, and <table align="center">...</table> has the same effect as <center><table>...</table></center>). I suggest that the 'align' parameters for tables should be left intact (even with $CleanupPresentationalAttributes=true). The alternative is to replace 'align=right' and 'align=left' by 'float: (right/left)' style, and 'align=center' by wrapping the table into the <center> tag.
Probably better replacement: align=right -> style="margin-left: auto;" align=left -> style="margin-right: auto;" align=center -> "margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;"
I can confirm this bug. Two other bugs were submitted for this same issue: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36495 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37114 We can keep this one as the "main" one since a solution is suggested although I don't know enough to say if that's the best solution or not so they'll have to test it.
