I need to pre-generate the XML for a table that’s <#included> into an advanced PDF HTML template for a transaction.  No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get NS to respect the cell widths.  I’ve tried using CSS styles as well as straight up width=“50%“.  I’ve tried both percents and pixel widths.  It’s like NS is just overriding with what it thinks the width should be.

define the table width and use table-layout:fixed style

unfortunately doesn’t seem to make any difference

argh.  OK, apparently it’s cuz my first row of the table was `colspan`ed

once I put a dummy row above with all cols with specified widths, it was ok
