layout/styling issue.

[tomnobelsAM]

Referring to this : I am confused about the possibilities for styling/layout. Suppose I want a table with 3 columns at the left side of the container.
When I use the width:xx/ it is right aligned
I see table-layout: auto ? Are there other possibilities, can I play with the margin parameter ?
I even once produced a table where the header names were not aligned with the data itself and I don't understand why.
So I think i am missing some knowledge. I search in the Datatable documentation but it's not clear to me.

The style argument
The show function has a style argument that determines the style for that particular table.

The default value for style is "table-layout:auto;width:auto;margin:auto;caption-side:bottom". Without width:auto, tables with few columns are stretched to fit the container width. Using margin:auto makes non-wide tables centered.

Position and width
You can set a specific width or position for a table using with the style argument of the show function:

show(df_small, style="table-layout:auto;width:50%;float:right")
