Setting maximum width relative to display
My question doesn't feel entirely relevant to Help&#58;Table until I know it can or cannot be done. If it can be done with a table, then I would like to recommend its inclusion. I've read in the Help page of three ways to adjust the width of a cell (and by extension, the table): pixel width (px), point width (pt), and em numbers. While I could dial this in for my display, it may behave oddly on other displays or if I change my browser's zoom factor.

How do I get a colored background to display all the way to the end of the screen without scrolling or wrapping, and automatically adjusts for display/zoom (provided that the text itself is less than the width of the screen)? Here are two examples... except the background stops just after the text:

Using a table Using simple font style

Some brief text

As you see, only the box immediately surrounding the text has a LightBlue background. I would like the background to go right to the edge of the screen, always at the maximum width no matter how much I zoom in or out my display. How is that done? &#8212;&#160;CJDOS,&#160;Sheridan,&#160;OR&#160;(talk) 23:05, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

Update: I apologize for bothering you. I just came across the answer to my question: add  to the style&#61; parameter. Would this info be a useful inclusion to the Help:Table page? &#8212;&#160;CJDOS,&#160;Sheridan,&#160;OR&#160;(talk) 23:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an example? So I can look at in action with all the wikitext. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

 * I was looking at the many display property values here:

 * I am a newb concerning most of them.
 * Feel free to add more info to Help:Table. Add to existing sections, and/or start new ones.
