Why does the MATLAB Report Generator 2.1.1( R14SP1) not consider my table formatting when I create an HTML report?

When I create an HTML report containing a table, the published report does not have the formatting of the columns that I specified.

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 3 (R14SP3). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The Report Generator uses relative width formatting, which is not supported by Internet Explorer.

To work around this issue, edit the HTML code and change the way the column width is specified from relative to either a percentage or pixels.

For example, the Report Generator produces the following code for column width.

<colgroup>

<col width="1*" >

<col width="4*" >

<col width="2*" >

<col width="3*" >

</colgroup>

Change this code to specify the width as a percentage, as in the following example:

<colgroup>

<col width="10%" />

<col width="40%" />

<col width="20%" />

<col width="30%" />

</colgroup>

An additional workaround is to view the report in a different web browser, such as Mozilla.
