Question

I am trying to create a table with the tablewidth as 100% . However in PatternSkin the tablewidth attribute seems to be ignored. It seems to work with other skins like dragon or classic.

e.g.

Actually I am trying to play with the formatted search to output each result item in a separate table. I want each table to be of 100% width. I was hoping using \%TABLE{tablewidth=100%}\% before each result would solve it. I haven't been able to figure out how to include it in the format for search.(I don't know how to escape "%") I would be grateful if someone could help with that too.

Answer

Fixed the searches with $percnt. The documentation you needed was FormattedSearch#Syntax. Also added \" around the 100% so that it is interpreted by the plugin as a parameter.

Thanks Sam for fixing the search. Now I need to find out how to get PatternSkin to use the tablewidth argument. I'm guessing there is something in the PatternSkin css which overrides the table width.

This is in PatternSkin:

.twikiTopic table {
   width:auto;
}

The problem with Explorer 5.x is that when the table width is 100%, it thinks that is 100% of the whole page. So you will always get tables that are too wide when there is a sidebar.
