Issues to Note
Styling tables can be a challenge when the CSS of a book overrides the HTML for individual chapters. For help with this issue, see Customizing your Exports with Custom Styles in the Pressbooks User Guide.

Webbook |
Table cells with more than one paragraph |
The first paragraph in each cell will have no extra space between lines. All additional paragraphs in the same cell will have extra space between the lines and the text will be larger. |
Go into the Text (HTML) editor and add a blank line after the opening <td> tag (this means pressing the [Enter] key twice) and saving the chapter while still in the Text (HTML) editor. |
All formats |
Table borders |
After an update on December 21, 2018, borders were stripped out of many tables. |

PDFs |
Side bar textboxes |
Sidebar textboxes that stretch between pages cause some text to become unreadable. |
Avoid the use of long sidebar textboxes and check your PDF exports for this issue. |
