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

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,
