Editing Tables

In addition to simply clicking in cells and typing text, there are several ways that you can edit tables after inserting them.

• Branding Stylesheets You can modify the look and feel of branding elements in your project, including tables, using the branding stylesheet. You can also select CSS variables in the Table Style Editor that point to the Branding.css file. See Branding.

• Regular Stylesheets You can modify the look and feel of multiple tables at once by editing standard HTML table styles (e.g., table, th, td, tr) in your regular stylesheet. For example, you might use these styles in order to control the look of the text that appears in your table headings (th style) or within the cells (td style). See Editing Table Styles in Regular Stylesheets.

• Table Stylesheets You can modify the look and feel of multiple tables at once by editing the properties in a custom table stylesheet. These table stylesheets let you easily and quickly create patterns and different looks for tables. See Editing Table Stylesheets.

  Note For the differences between branding stylesheets, regular stylesheets, table stylesheets, and local properties—and when you should use one over the other—see Stylesheet and Formatting Options

  Warning When controlling the look of tables, be aware of conflicts that can arise when you are using standard table styles (e.g., tr, td) from a regular stylesheet and you are also inserting proxies in the project. For example, if you set the text-indent property on the td style, it could affect the indentation of a generated table of contents or mini-toc.
