What are the advanced table formatting options?

The Table Plugin allows you to integrate complex tables into XaitProposal, offering more formatting options than the tables embedded in text blocks.

About borders

• By default, the border thickness is 1 px
• Distinct inner / outer borders: If the outer thickness is greater than the inner one (e.g., 2px blue outside, 1px red inside), both colors will remain visible.
  
• Inner / outer borders of the same thickness: However, if you set both thicknesses to the same value, the inner borders take precedence. For example, a blue outline (1px) and a red inside (1px) will result in a fully red table.
  

Note:

The colors contained in your layout are offered in the color palette. You can also enter the code (HEXA, RGB, HSB) of your preferred colors so they are applied to the table formatting:
