Question

sizing of tables in HTML5 publishing - does it work?

FrameMaker 2020. I am publishing some FrameMaker documents and I need the output of the tables to be wider. I have been fiddling around with these settings in export dialogue:

... but do they work? I believe I have tried all the settings now, but I am not able to see any effect. Has anybody accomplished to make these "Preferred width" features work?

      This would be the dialog at:
      File » Publish » Responsive HTML5
      Settings File: [ {name.sts} ] 🔧 » Edit
      /Style Mapping\
      ⊞ Table Styles
      {pick one}
      Table Size
      ☑ Preferred Width [ 0px ]

      The "0px" appears to be just the default value & units. Have you tried other units allowed in HTML5, such as cm, em, ex, in, mm, pc, pt? And it looks like you'd need to use pc for %.

      In any case, what markup flows to the output files?

      I have tried changing the "Preferred Width" sizes to other sizes but nothing changes and I am not able to find my settings in the css files. It plainly looks like changing Preferred Width does not have any effect. I am using px and % and neithe seems to work.
