#### 33.5.1 Indenting tables (deprecated)

Best practice is to use CSS to indent tables in HTML. The technique described in this section should be used only if you cannot use CSS.

Note: This technique has been superseded by format configuration properties, which use CSS; see §7. Configuring output formats.

Because there is no indent attribute for tables in HTML, DITA2Go places a spacer graphic just before the table; see §32.5.2 Indenting images (deprecated).

To use the spacer graphic:

    [HTMLOptions]
    ; UseSpacers = No (default)
    ; or Yes, use to position tables and graphics
    UseSpacers = Yes

See §32.5.2 Indenting images (deprecated).

To specify the width of the spacer graphic:

    [Tables]
    ; TableIndents=-1 (based on indent in FM), 0 (none), or count of
    ;  pixels; overridden for particular tables and groups in
    ;  [TableIndents] section
    TableIndents = -1

When TableIndents=-1 (the default), tables are indented the same as in your FrameMaker document.

When TableIndents=0, tables are not indented.

When TableIndents=n, where n is a positive integer, tables are indented n pixels.

To override this setting for a particular table or table group:

    [TableIndents]
    ; TableID = number of pixels to indent using PixelSpacerImage
    ; zero prevents indent, -1 is autoindent (default action)
    ; overrides default set in [Tables]TableIndents for its table or group

For example, to indent table af123456 by 60 pixels, and prevent any tables in file ag from being indented:

    [TableIndents]
    af123456=60
    ag*=0
