My dita-project contains a couple of SimpleTables which which cause an issue when transformed to HTML5.

In the html-file these tables are shown as:

Code: Select all

<table class="simpletable"><colgroup><col style="width:50%"><col style="width:50%"></colgroup><tbody><tr class="strow">

So they include

Code: Select all

<colgroup><col style="width:50%"><col style="width:50%"></colgroup>

- which forces 2 50% columns which looks bad in case the contents of the table requires something like 10% / 90%.

Is the a way to override this in CSS to 'width: auto' or similar, or is there a way to remove this

Code: Select all

<colgroup><col style="width:50%"><col style="width:50%"></colgroup>

from the html-output.

Thanks!

Hi,

After you add a simple table in Oxygen you can drag the column margins to resize the table cells and produce a table XML content which has proportions like for example:

Code: Select all

<simpletable relcolwidth="1.0* 9*">
            <sthead>
                <stentry>a</stentry>
                <stentry>b</stentry>
            </sthead>
            <strow>
                <stentry>c</stentry>
                <stentry>d</stentry>
            </strow>
            </simpletable>

Then the published HTML5 document has similar proportions in the equivalent HTML table.
