Table autofit | autofit to window, autofit to contents | When set to autofit to window, the table is resized to the width of the page. When set to autofit to contents, the table is resized to text contained within it. |
Resize to fit contents | true, false | When set to true, the column widths are adjusted based on the cell with the largest amount of text contained within it. |
Fixed cell width in column | true, false | When set to true, all of the cells in a column are the same width. |
Cell spacing | 0 to 190 | The number of pixels of white space between cells. |

XHTML cell merge | true, false | When set to true, tables are rendered
in all outputs as XHTML tables are rendered. In Rational Publishing Engine 1.2

to true, you are not required to add these
empty cells. When set to false, which is the
default setting in Rational Publishing Engine 1.2.0.1,
tables are rendered as they were in version 1.2 and earlier. |
