Making a table have fixed width?
Posted: Wed Aug 07, 2019 11:59 amI'm trying to create an atlas for my region via the use of a factbook, but I'm having some trouble formatting the table on it.
The table consists of two collums: one with the nation, and the other with the nation's information. The formatting on the nation itself is fine, but when I add text to the information side the table expands and shrinks to compensate for the text I added.
To demonstrate, this is what the table looks like with very little text in the right column:
This is what the table looks like with lots of text in the right column:
As you can see, putting a lot of text into one column makes the table ugly and compressed. I plan on putting a considerable amount of text into the right column for each entry.
Is it possible to make the width of each column be fixed to a certain number of pixels, or am I stuck having to find ways to prevent the right column from consuming the page? Images don't seem to affect column width if a string of text is longer than the image itself.
