Hello, Right now the @multitable HTML output table td or th elements width is set with the width= attribute. This attribute is deprecated in favor of using CSS, but to me this is highly debatable, as the width may be part of the structure of the table as opposed to styling, more similar to the colspan attribute. I hoped that this deprecation would be reverted as has been the case for ol type (for which both CSS and attribute can be used), but this has not happened for now.
We could change to use inline CSS style for width. We have avoided using inline CSS style in texi2any for now, all the styling is set through classes, as should be. I can imagine that text browsers that try to render tables could use the width attribute but ignore inline CSS, but I have no evidence. I think that we have 4 options 1) stay as we are now with width= attribute 2) change to inline style width 3) keep width= attribute but add a customization variable to switch to inline style width 4) change the default to inline style width and add a customization variable to switch to attribute width= Do you have an idea on what would be best? -- Pat
