export table html centered

export table html centered

[henry atting]

That is what I am searching for: Is there a markup rule that puts org
tables centered on the resulting page when exported as html.
Seems that #+BEGIN_CENTER – #+END_CENTER does not do this, marking a
table like that solely leads to an error message:

progn: Args out of range: 84, 906

Version info: Org-mode version 6.29trans
              GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of 2009-08-09 on gamaville.dokosmarshall.org

I don't get an error using #+BEGIN_CENTER/#+END_CENTER, but otoh I also
don't get a centered table: it's meant for centered paragraphs I think.

The align= attribute for a table is deprecated and I don't know what
the currently recommended method is (probably CSS - but I don't know much
about that). But if you don't mind using deprecated attributes, and assuming
you want *every* table centered, then customizing

    org-export-table-header-tags

to add 

    align="center"

should do it. You can also use #+BIND to do it per-file:

,----
| #+BIND: org-export-html-table-tag   "<table align=\"center\" border=\"2\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\" rules=\"groups\" frame=\"hsides\">"
| | foo | bar |
| |-----+-----|
| | 1   | 2   |
| | 2   | 5   |
| | 3   | 10  |
`----

HTH,
Nick

Correction: that should be

     org-export-html-table-tag

Sorry about that - the BIND version below is correct.

Thanks,

Hi Henry, Nick,

another way would be this:

     #+STYLE: <style>table.center {margin-left:auto; margin- 
right:auto;}</style>

     * A centered table

     #+ATTR_HTML: class="center"
     | a | b | c |
     |---+---+---|
     | 1 | 2 | 3 |

     * An uncentered table

     | a | b | c |
     |---+---+---|
     | 1 | 2 | 3 |


You can also configure org-export-html-table-tag to add the  
class="center"
if you want to center all tables.

HTH

Hi Nick, hi Dominik,

as I have my own stylesheet I did not deal with the #+STYLE option to
much. But it's very helpful, great.

Many thanks
