Duelling screentshots
On the site, table content is often jammed all together in the first column, where the next column is happily spread out. I have made [some of my tables extremely terse][linux] to accommodate. This is from Chrome/MacOS on a 27-inch monitor (2560 × 1440):- ## Sample table
- | Element | Description |
- |---------|-------------|
- | hydrogen | Fusce molestie nibh id tellus semper, at porta nisi rhoncus. Praesent malesuada odio a fringilla sollicitudin. |
- | helium | Curabitur malesuada sapien nec dui varius porttitor. Quisque aliquet finibus posuere. |
- | lithium | Quisque lacus massa, vulputate a purus non, cursus porta leo. Ut tempus odio vel lorem ornare pharetra. |
- ## Editor view
- For some reason, the same table looks fine in the Editor view:
