Hi all,

My last post has been in hold for review. When I wrote it, I reduced my workflow to only two apps: Ulysses and Calibre.

Now I have advanced a little more, and for very basic tables, where the width is extremely precious, I am capable to handle with Ulysses only.

I have managed to embed an HTML table into Ulysses, using the Raw block code. It exports to HTML and EPUB.

I am capable to view the table in my Kindle Voyage. CSS is not understood, but the content of the table is visible. In both Ulysses and Calibre, CSS works and the preview looks gorgeous.

@Tex2002ans*I'm afraid I hate Word or any app that work with styles. I prefer Markdown instead. Thank you.

@phillipgessert*@j.p.s*@jmurphy Thank you for understanding that I prefer to work with Markdown.
You have shared an interesting
resource:*https://www.markdownguide.org/tools/

So I assume my next step now is to select a markdown editor with table support that exports to EPUB. Will take me time...

Now, if somebody can point me to a resource for CSS for tables for EPUB, would be great.

Each and one of the answers of this thread has helped me to arrive to this conclusion. Maybe I'm a bit slow, but I don't care. I couldn't have arrived to this point without you. Again, many thanks.
