I am working on a web page displaying a table below a navigation bar. The table on the page is generated from data coming from a database. The page as such does what it is supposed to do, but the table hosting the data is not left aligned on the page, but has a lot of white space to its left.
The Python/Flask-part of the code looks like this, data from the database comes as pandas DataFrame:
from flask import Flask, render_template
import DBConnector
from jinja2 import Environment
import pandas as pd
app = Flask(__name__)
app.jinja_options = {'lstrip_blocks': True, 'trim_blocks': True}
app.create_jinja_environment()
@app.route('/')
def index():
connector = DBConnector()
df: pd.DataFrame = connector.getData()
return render_template('index.html', tables=[df.to_html(classes='data', header=True)])
I borrowed the index.html code from a Stackoverflow post:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<h1>{% block title %}Table Viewer{% endblock %}</h1>
{% for table in tables %}
{{ table|safe }}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}
which extends the file base.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

<title>{% block title %} {% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light">

</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
<ul class="navbar-nav">

<a class="nav-link" href="#">About</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
<div class="container" align="left">
{% block content %}
{% endblock %}
</div>

</html>
The output looks like this:
How can I remove the large white space to the left of the table?
