Also, if the table has cell spacing (and thus border-collapse=separate), meaning that cells have separate borders with a gap in between, that gap will still be visible. A cruder way to align columns of numbers is to use a figure space   or  , which is intended to be the width of a numeral, though is font-dependent in practice:
Note that you may also specify the § height of individual rows, and if they add up to more than the table height you specified or if word wrapping increases row height, the table height you specified will be ignored and the table height increased as needed to accommodate all the rows (except on mobile where the bottom of the table will be cut ...
If this is a problem, it can be fixed by pasting the table right off the page (not the wikitext) into Excel2Wiki. Excel2Wiki will compress the wikitext. And it will do it correctly for tables with row headers too (see also Help:Table#Row headers). Tab2wiki will not compress the wikitext at all if this is checked: "First element in a row is a ...
However, the table margins, border and font-size must be precisely set to match a typical image display. The Image-spec parameter "thumb|" (although auto-thumbnailing to user-preference width) forces a wide left-margin that squeezes the nearby text, so the parameter "center|" can be added to suppress the left-margin padding.
See the Width section of Help:Table.To summarize, max-width is the preferred way to limit widths on tables. It works on divs too. Note though that in both tables and divs there needs to be spaces in long lines of text or wikitext.
In the table code, one must leave out the cells that are covered by such a span. The resulting column- and row-counting must fit. Tables can have cells spanning multiple rows, using |rowspan=n. The number of rows must be indicated with each use of rowspan. Before any sorting can be done, the rowspan setup must be correct. The wikitext must be ...
The following describes techniques to auto-widen, or expand, any wp:wikitable, based on each user's default text-size set for their browser or device.. The major technique is to pad columns with column-spacers, as groups of non-breaking spaces ( ) at the end of each column, such as by template {{ns|15}}, where those spaces will shift below the column on narrow screens, to move the columns ...
The process of converting a narrow table to wide table is generally referred to as "pivoting" in the context of data transformations. The "pandas" python package provides a "pivot" method which provides for a narrow to wide transformation.
