Support basic table styles

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      There is currently no way to apply styles to tables inserted from the WYSIWYG editor. Using the source editor and attempting to apply a `style=` tag to the table by hand results in it appearing correctly in the editor, the editor becoming unusable, and the table still renders incorrectly (as if the tag doesn't exist) on preview and save.

      At minimum, I'd like the ability to set table width as a percentage of page width, like style="width:42%;"

      This is basic formatting that we lost with the new editor.

      On a side note, my ability to convince my bosses that we need to shell out $80 for a plugin to gain basic HTML features we've had for decades have been unsuccessful, and I have to say there is a certain degree of logic to their reasoning

            Thanks for the feedback, Michael. We have issues already for this - I've linked to the related ones you might want to watch/comment/vote on.
            In terms of ability to allow complete style tag support, we've discussed this in the past and don't think we will every do that strategically. It opens up a can of worms for the product, the rich text editor, exporting content, backwards compatibility etc..
