How to fix the column width so things display better
Greetings,It is possible that this only bugged me. However, I solved it for myself and thought I'd share with you wonderful folks!
While embeding some catalogues into wiki pages, I noticed something I didn't like. The column widths were all the same width and this not only caused the columns with more info to get longer, sometimes words would overlap the column borders. See the screenshot below:
Well, I didn't like this, so I fixed it. By editing my theme's global.css:
Code
.wide_table {
width: 100%;
{+START,IF,{$EQ,{$LANG},EN}}
table-layout: fixed; <--- comment this line out
{+END}
}
As noted in the comment, I commented out the "table-layout:fixed;" line. This gave me a far better looking result:
As you can see, no more words spilling into the next column and things seem to fit and look better IMO. It still maintains its overflow factor, so still fine for phones.

- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.
