CSS Table Styling #47

Closed ebeshero closed 6 years ago

ebeshero commented 6 years ago

@zme1 You may want to apply some padding or margin controls to your CSS for the minutes pages so text isn't jammed next to table boundaries. It feels a little tightly "bricked" at the moment. You might also choose a more subtle color or lighter weighting for the table cell boundaries so they're sort of vanishing in the background but nevertheless evenly dividing the pages.

The "bricked" impression is coming from the left margins primarily. You might try margin:auto in CSS to position those evenly so they're left-aligned but the block of text is horizontally centered in the cell.

Or maybe not (re margin:auto)--which would probably be the default. I'm not quite sure why some cells are coming out with lots of white space at the top or bottom, and some are not. It might be that you want those to start at the same vertical position and just control the padding around the cells.
