Here's a kludgey solution. You will probably need someone who understands
CSS better to come up with a better solution.
First change the template tiddler to:
\define mytable(colorclass)
<div class="specialTable">
<table class="persontable ">
<tr><th colspan=2 style="background-color:$colorclass$;"> @@display:block;
color:lightgrey; <<currentTiddler>> @@ </th></tr>
<tr><td> ''Value 1'' </td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;{{!!value1}}@@</td
></tr>
<tr><td>@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 2''@@
</td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;stuff@@
</td></tr>
<tr><td>@@display:block;width:6.5em;''Value 3''@@
</td><td>@@display:block;width:15em;@@
</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
<div style="clear:both">
</div>
\end
<$macrocall $name="mytable" colorclass={{!!tablecolor}}/>
This wraps the table in a div identified by class specialTable and adds a
bit on the end to clear divs.
Then add this to the stylesheet:
.specialTable {
float: right;
}
[data-tags*=myTable] .tc-tiddler-body
{
width:40% ;
float: left;
}
This makes your text float left and your table float right. It also limits
your text width to 40% of the entire space -- which works on my system but
may be too little or too much on yours. This is where someone who
understands CSS is needed. Without the 40% the text will expand to fill up
the entire area, which will push the div down. So what's needed is some
configuration that will use whatever space is available AFTER the table has
taken it's bit.
Good luck!
