export org tables to html, configure the borders

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi 

I have the following table

#+begin_src 

| Product     | online clases with  pdf | share screen      | whiteboard                | stability of the connection         |

|             |                         |                   | big letter distortion     |                                     |
|             |                         |                   | de delete function        |                                     |
|             |                         |                   | does not work properly:   |                                     |
|             |                         |                   | all the text gets deleted |                                     |

|             |                         |                   |                           | only allows 40 min sessions         |
|-------------+-------------------------+-------------------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------|
#+end_src

Now I would like to export it to html precisely with these vertical
and horizontal borders. 

The standard setting of 
org-html-table-default-attributes 

is 
(:border "2" :cellspacing "0" :cellpadding "6" :rules "groups" :frame "hsides")

Which does not insert the borders.


However the setting 
(:border "2" :cellspacing "0" :cellpadding "6" :frame "border" :rules "all")

Inserts borders but to many of them, each line gets a horizontal
border, which I don't want.

    1. What is the correct setting

    2. How can I have such a setting locally just for one table?

Thanks and regards

I don't know, though AFAICS by trying out the possible values [^0], I
think something more involved than using the :rules attribute would be
needed.

You can place something like this before the table:

    #+ATTR_HTML: :rules all

#+ATTR_HTML: :border 2 :rules groups :frame box

That puts a box around the table and insert horizontal line where ever
I have inserted one via |-------------+

It does not insert vertical lines between the columns so I wounder
