Table column not sizing properly

someuser
Hi,

I have a table which is 2 cols and x rows. The first row has a colspan of 2 which seems to muck up the sizing of the columns (they basically become 50%) because if i take this row out the columns size perfectly. I have tried setting the width inline and by stylesheets but with no luck. I know the stylesheets settings are being applied as I can make the text a different colour via css.

This appears to be caused by a limitation of the automatic table layout algorithm in Prince 5.1. We shall investigate the issue and see if we can fix it in a future release of Prince.

In the meantime, a possible workaround might be to use a nested table rather than colspan, or perhaps use fixed table layout.
