title: How can I left align the text in an Angular Material stretched md-button?
body: <p>Without tinkering too much with my own CSS, Is there an attribute or configuration I can use to left align the text in a <a href="https://material.angularjs.org/latest/#/api/material.components.button/directive/mdButton" rel="noreferrer">md-button</a> that is stretched a bit to fit a menu for example?</p>
  
  <p>This is my current view</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;md-sidenav md-is-locked-open="$mdMedia('gt-md')" layout="column"&gt;
    &lt;md-toolbar&gt;
      &lt;h1 class="md-toolbar-tools"&gt;
        &lt;a ng-href="/" layout="row" href="/"&gt;
          &lt;div class="docs-logotype"&gt;Material Design&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/h1&gt;
    &lt;/md-toolbar&gt;
    &lt;md-content flex role="navigation" layout="column"&gt;
      &lt;md-button&gt;Button1&lt;/md-button&gt;
      &lt;md-button&gt;Button2&lt;/md-button&gt;
    &lt;/md-content&gt;
  &lt;/md-sidenav&gt;
  
  &lt;md-content flex layout="column"&gt;
    &lt;md-toolbar&gt;
      &lt;div class="md-toolbar-tools"&gt;
        &lt;button class="md-icon-button md-button" aria-label="Settings"&gt;
          &lt;md-icon md-svg-icon="images/icons/menu.svg" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;/md-icon&gt;
          &lt;div class="md-ripple-container"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/button&gt;
        &lt;md-button&gt;Button1&lt;/md-button&gt; &lt;!-- how to left align this text inside a stretched button --&gt;
        &lt;md-button&gt;Button2&lt;/md-button&gt;
        &lt;span flex=""&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;md-button&gt;Right side button&lt;/md-button&gt;
        &lt;button class="md-icon-button md-button" aria-label="More"&gt;
          &lt;md-icon md-svg-icon="images/icons/more_vert.svg" aria-hidden="true"&gt;&lt;/md-icon&gt;
          &lt;div class="md-ripple-container"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        &lt;/button&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/md-toolbar&gt;
    &lt;md-content flex&gt;
      Some content !!
    &lt;/md-content&gt;
  &lt;/md-content&gt;
