Vincent,
I apologize. I didn't mean to be unrespectfull, it's not my style (since
we're talking about styles :) ).
But...it usually takes longer to hit a db, write some sqls and get the
expected result than to write align="center", or any style property, but
that's not the point.
The css I use is colibri.css through a style.css include statement.
Strange thing is that despite I am writing this in my script:
(% style="background-color:red;align:center" %)
The html code produced at the end is :
<table style="background-color: red;">
Where the align attribute is simply removed. Also, some <tbody> tags are
added.
What I meant by locked is the following: why simple html like this:
"<table align="center"><tr><td>test
centering</td></tr></table>"
Cannot be rendered according to W3C standard?
I haven't been through the details of xwiki rendering but it looks like
xwiki css defines styles for at html element level (i.e for all table, all
h1, etc.. for instance .table { text-align: left}) So basically, a custom
table (any table) falls under the rules of theses xwiki css.
If you had defined a .xwikitable set of attributes instead, then the style
would only apply to a table using class="xwikitable" and a custom table
would follow whatever style was defined by the web developper.
Anyway, I just tried that margin trick I found on a forum and that you just
gave me. It works fine.
Again, I didn't mean to show any lack of respect. I was just a bit
frustrated. That happens. But you could concede me that xwiki documentation
is not well structured and organized, both in its content and presentation.
I know it's a challenge, a daunting task, but at some point it's necessary.
Thanks
Marc

What is messy? What do you suggest to make it less "messy"? Can you help?

but STILL, my
table is stuck on the left. It's just driving me nuts to be
able to hit a database in a record time and to spend hours to get the
resulting table centered!
Not sure why you think using a database is more complex than using CSS....
;)
For me it's much harder to use HTML/CSS than
hitting a DB!
Any clue? Why is all the rendering locked this
way? What's the point ?
What do you propose to unlock it (whatever you mean by this)?
Regarding the table centering use firebug if you're on FF to find the
correct
CSS.
Just because I'm good (despite your not very respectful email), here's the
result of my 2 minutes investigation with google and firebug (and people who
know me know I don't know crap about HTML/CSS ;)):
(% style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" %)
|=column1|=column2
|cell1|cell2
For the record I've found this info on
http://theodorakis.net/tablecentertest.html
Hope it helps,
-Vincent
Thanks

By the way, I am running XWiki Enterprise
