Created attachment 119167 [details] width remains the same Although the OOo2HelpAuthoring.pdf discloses a method to set the width of a table and a cell - this is not working. For example: <table id="table_averageif_example" width="100">
Confirmed. I couldn't set the table width in statistics.xhp.

This still is an issue in XHP files using the online help. The "width" is an attribute of a table [1], however it has no effect even if I set the "unit" attribute, f.i: <table id="tab_id221606235233835" width="100" unit="pct"> By default, not setting "unit" would use "px" as the unit, however this does not work. [1] https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Understanding,_Authoring_and_Editing_Openoffice.org_Help/3#table @Ilmari, is this something fixable?
This is the template function: https://git.libreoffice.org/help/+/143eb86de536e863170222617485c3e7f41d628a/help3xsl/online_transform.xsl#1389 Looks like it only has this special case for class named 'wide': <xsl:when test="@class='wide'">
Indeed. Using class="wide" makes the table 100% wide and this is the only way we can change table width. For example: <table id="tab_id221606235233835" class="wide"> IMO having the ability to use the "wide" class is enough for our help pages. I do not believe it would be good to allow anyone to modify table width without using predefined classes, since it might break the look-and-feel of the rendered pages. How about closing this as WORKSFORME ?
Thanks for evaluating, let's close
