How to style an inner table with boxable?

Question

How can you change styles like border width, border color, text alignment, etc. of an inner table created with boxable?

SampleTest10 in the unit tests here creates an inner table by using HTML. The resulting table has default styles. How can you access and change them?

Answer 1

Table Class

I had a look at the boxable class for Table. It looks as if these are the only styling options you have ( atleast according to this class ) :

public Table(float yStartNewPage, float pageTopMargin, float pageBottomMargin, float width, float margin,
            PDDocument document, boolean drawLines, boolean drawContent, PageProvider<T> pageProvider)

See: https://github.com/dhorions/boxable/blob/master/src/main/java/be/quodlibet/boxable/Table.java

I see though that also HTML can be included, so maybe you should try using html formatting such as: e.g. <table bordercolor=”red”>

Cell Class

Cell class seems to have a LineStyle . So it would make sense that in the following code (taken from unit test), you would be able to do additional actions.

Cell<PDPage> cell = headerRow.createCell(100, "Awesome Facts About Belgium");
        cell.setFont(PDType1Font.HELVETICA_BOLD);
        cell.setFillColor(Color.BLACK);
        cell.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);

cell.setBottomBorderStyle(new LineStyle(Color.RED, 2));

        table.addHeaderRow(headerRow);
