Can I make tables resize dynamically when converting to html5/app?

I have some documents in FrameMaker 2017 and I am experimenting with publishing them as html5/app. They contain tables though, and the tables do not resize dynamically to screen like the text does, when I do the conversion. This makes publishing to both print and html5 awkward because the tables look narrow in print but ok on the phone/tablet. Have I misunderstood something basic here?

you can make the tables change to a maximum width and make them open as wide as the window, if you change the the publish settings. The same area where you can assign the different formats for the output text, allows you to alter how the tables are displayed. I'd get the exact details, but FM would crash with the amount of stuff I have open right now.

look at your html and at your css...which is controlling the width?

If css, then adjust as needed.

Hi

Thanks for answering. Yes, I can fix this in the html version, but is there a method to make sure the tables are dynamic when made in FrameMaker?

Not sure. You might need to write a script to remove the offending html.

Check with the Adobe engineering team to see what they say.
