Examples

Sizing columns automatically

Use the table-auto utility to automatically size table columns to fit the contents of its cells:

<table class="table-auto">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Song</th>
      <th>Artist</th>
      <th>Year</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>The Sliding Mr. Bones (Next Stop, Pottersville)</td>
      <td>Malcolm Lockyer</td>
      <td>1961</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Witchy Woman</td>
      <td>The Eagles</td>
      <td>1972</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Shining Star</td>
      <td>Earth, Wind, and Fire</td>
      <td>1975</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Using fixed column widths

Use the table-fixed utility to ignore the content of the table cells and use fixed widths for each column:

<table class="table-fixed">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Song</th>
      <th>Artist</th>
      <th>Year</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>The Sliding Mr. Bones (Next Stop, Pottersville)</td>
      <td>Malcolm Lockyer</td>
      <td>1961</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Witchy Woman</td>
      <td>The Eagles</td>
      <td>1972</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Shining Star</td>
      <td>Earth, Wind, and Fire</td>
      <td>1975</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

You can manually set the widths for some columns and the rest of the available width will be divided evenly amongst columns without an explicit width. The widths set in the first row will set the column width for the whole table.

Responsive design

Prefix a table-layout utility with a breakpoint variant like md: to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:

<table class="table-auto md:table-fixed ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</table>
