\nYou can however achieve this with some more manual intervention by defining a wide table style definition for which you set a left margin of -2cm. This wide table style should match tables for which e.g. the wide class is set.

I am currently trying to achieve this styling for my tables, where the table is centered to the content but still allows the table to spill over left by 2cm past the content when the table needs the extra space. i.e centering around where it usually centers + 2cm (this may be clearer when looking at the two examples below) Below is a mock up of how i want it to look. As you can see, the larger table requires the use of the whole area the table has access to, i.e. the content area + 2cm to the left Below is what it currently looks like with my stylesheet. Here is the current style sheet I'm using. I've tried a few things in the stylesheet and have messed around with overriding the _align() method in Flowable, but I am not having much success. Is there anything that could be done to to achieve this? I appreciate that custom centering like this may be a niche request, so I would understand if this is beyond the capabilities of rinohtype at the moment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 😄 |

I agree it is too specific of a case to be supported by rinohtype. Thank you for your advice, I'll look into the wide tables now. |
