Support for table margins?

Unread post by ka_rexroth »

What is the best way to get margins in front (or below) a table?

table style="margin-top: 20px" etc. does not seem to be supported, and I could also not find a proper other solution.

TNX.
regards, Karsten

What you need to do here is format the paragraph in which the table sits. The table always takes up the entire paragraph, so you need to know how to get into it. To put the insertion point into the paragraph, either click to the right of the table, or move it to the last character in the last cell in the table and press the right arrow key once. Then you can format the paragraph manually or with a style to add indents and space before/after etc.

When working with tables nowadays, the standard caveat always applies: You need to be aware that they will always break your layout on mobile devices, particularly on phones. If you are using Premium Pack skins in HTML you can use Layout Tables and X-Tables to work around this issue a little. Note that X-Tables only work for a specific table format that you need to observe strictly.
