[oXygen-user] No Easy Way to Set @colsep and @rowsep on Table in Author Mode

[Alex Jitianu]

Hello,

In version 15.2 we've enhanced the form controls used to edit the 
colspecs. Rowsep and colsep can also be specified on colspecs and now 
you have a checkbox for each one of them. It's not the same as setting 
the attributes on the table itself but it's also a convenient way to set 
separators.
By default the colspecs are hidden so you have to click on a button 
above the table to present them or change the applied CSS from the 
Styles button on the toolbar.

If you want, you can also add two checkbox form controls before the 
table that will edit these two attributes.

Best regards,
Alex
