Some information is best presented in table format and HTML based tables can be used in LibGuides. However, using the included tables tool in the Rich Text / HTML editor adds many unwanted codes to your table -- see below:
Here is the resulting code that the tool creates (with unwanted coding highlighted in red:
style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);">class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>class="ck_border" style="border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);"> </td>At the Library, we use a modified version of the Bootstrap stylesheet. So, for tables at the Library of Congress in LibGuides, we recommend that you start with some cleanly styled code using one of these examples below.
Indicate settings for column width using percentages as shown in the coding below:

<col style="width: 55%;" />
