[oXygen-user] Table formatting: style attribute

[Oxygen XML Editor Support (Radu Coravu)]

Hello Michael,

Great, I'm glad this works for you for editing.

Probably such styling also depends on how you publish the JATS document 
further, if you produce an HTML document from it, that may work but for 
producing a PDF having HTML-related styles in the JATS file will 
probably not produce results in the PDF.

Regards,

Radu
