Summary
Tables now honor authored column widths: when an HTML table includes a
<colgroup>where every<col>declares a width, Mintlify renders the table with fixed column widths, wraps long content within each column, and drops the per-cell minimum width. Tables without a complete colgroup keep the existing automatic sizing, and wide tables still scroll horizontally.colandcolgroupare now allowed in MDX, so migrated docs markup passes through. Previously the only workaround was per-table custom CSS.https://github.com/mintlify/mint/pull/10603
Changes
<colgroup>/<col>, when widths apply, and the fallback behavior, with a rendered example and code sampleNote

Overview
Documents how authors can set fixed table column widths in Mintlify docs after platform support for
<colgroup>/<col>in MDX.Adds a new Column widths subsection on the lists-and-tables page (English plus Spanish, French, and Chinese). It explains that Markdown tables stay auto-sized, while HTML tables with a
<colgroup>where every<col>has a width (attribute or inline style) use those widths and wrap cell content; incomplete width declarations fall back to content-based sizing, and overly wide tables still scroll horizontally. Each locale includes a live example table and a matchinghtmlcode block.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit db6fb84. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
