It appears you're using the float to try and control the location of a table. One work-around for this specific issue is to use the advanced table syntax. Here's an example:
Some text, text and more text…
A title
There is no float element here - just an "advanced" table
One |
Two |
Three |
Four |
Five |
Six |
Seven |
Eight |
End of table element (advanced tables give you lots more control on placement!)
Text to follow…
Other title
"Welcome one and all to Milliways, …
More un-floated stuff
End of second table (simple table gives less control and auto-centers)
…the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!"
Here's the code:
Some text
++ A title
There is no float element here
[[table style="width: 1%; margin: 40px; border-collapse: collapse; border:2px solid"]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: center; background-color: #FFFFCC;"]]**One**[[/cell]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: center; background-color: #FFFFCC;"]]**Two**[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Three[[/cell]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Four[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Five[[/cell]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Six[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[row]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Seven[[/cell]]
[[cell style="padding: 5px; border:1px solid silver; text-align: left; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]Eight[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[[/table]]
End of table element (**advanced tables give you lots more control on placement!**)
Text to follow...
++ Other title
//"Welcome one and all to Milliways, ...//
More un-floated stuff
||~ 1 ||~ 2 ||
|| 3 || 4 ||
|| 5 || 6 ||
|| 7 || 8 ||
End of second table (**simple table gives less control and auto-centers**)
//...the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!"//
When I don't need precise control over column widths, my trick is to set the table width to just 1% and then use the table margin and cell padding setting to add some space around my table and cell content.
Until we get a real solution, this may help!
