hi this has taken a very long time now.
I am facing issue due to this on regular basis.
This is a very basic problem, kindly fix it asap.

The columns have a fixed width specified, something like 30pt, 400px, etc.. The problem is that when they sum up, the result is smaller than the border applied to the table.

Until we fix the problem, please use proportional widths as a workaround.

For example, if you have

Code: Select all

colspec width="100pt"

colspec width="250pt"

colspec width="300pt"

You could use the values as proportions:

Code: Select all

colspec width="100*"

colspec width="250*"

colspec width="300*"

Or:

Code: Select all

colspec width="1*"

colspec width="2*"

colspec width="3*"

We'll be back soon with a better solution.
Thank you,
Dan

A better solution is to add to your customization CSS the following rule:

Code: Select all

 *[class~="topic/table"] > *[class~="topic/tgroup"] {         

         table-layout: auto;        

}

This makes the table automatically stretch as much as the columns.

We will investigate further the problem with the fixed layout table and specified column widths.

Many regards,
Dan

We fixed the problem, it will enter the next major version.
Let us know if the above CSS snippet is working for you, if not, we can provide a Chemistry PDF CSS processor nightly build.

Thank you for the feedback,
Dan
