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.

Hi !
I've been struggling for hours trying to get a Html table centered on a wiki page. I tried all the suggested syntax I found in the very messy Xwiki documentation
What is messy? What do you suggest to make it less "messy"? Can you help?
(i.e, using style="etc.", then using class="myclass") and I also tried to get rid of all table references in the colibri.css file, 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 -Vincent
By the way, I am running XWiki Enterprise 2.5.1.32531
Thanks
Marc
