See rich.Align, specifically the vertical parameter.

Not sure how it's intended to be used. This

from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
from rich.align import Align

console = Console()

table = Table(show_header=False)
table.add_row(
    Align("Dev 20, 2019", vertical="middle"),
    "\n".join(["Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker"] * 5),
)

console.print(table)

gives the unaligned

Ah. I think whats happening there is that each cells is rendered to find the dimensions. But the height of the row isn't known until everything is rendered.

Probably the best way to solve that would be to add a vertical align option per cell, or column.

You might want to add a feature request issue for that.

Confirming the example works as expected in a recent version of rich:

>>> from rich.console import Console
>>> from rich.table import Table
>>> from rich.align import Align
>>> 
>>> console = Console()
>>> 
>>> table = Table(show_header=False)
>>> table.add_row(
...     # the order of the cells doesn't play a role here
...     Align("Dev 20, 2019", vertical="middle"),
...     "\n".join(["Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker"] * 5),
... )
>>> 
>>> console.print(table)
