Dear All,

The pandoc user guide shows the following example for a grid table:

: Sample grid table.

+---------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Fruit         | Price         | Advantages         |
+===============+===============+====================+
| Bananas       | $1.34         | - built-in wrapper |
|               |               | - bright color     |
+---------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Oranges       | $2.10         | - cures scurvy     |
|               |               | - tasty            |
+---------------+---------------+--------------------+

Which renders the following html using the default writer:

<table style="width:74%;">
<caption>Sample grid table.</caption>
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 22%" />
<col style="width: 22%" />
<col style="width: 29%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>Fruit</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th>Advantages</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>Bananas</td>
<td>$1.34</td>
<td><ul>
<li>built-in wrapper</li>
<li>bright color</li>
</ul></td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>Oranges</td>
<td>$2.10</td>
<td><ul>
<li>cures scurvy</li>
<li>tasty</li>
</ul></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

My question is, where does it get the width values in col style from? Also how can I adjust those to an exact value if I know the value I want to set it to?

Regards,

Amine
