Can you please explain this line? I don't follow why the page width is multiplied by 0.5 ^ len(self.tables). Thanks.

I can't. I did not wrote this line, this is from a previous pull request (#55), I just took the existing code and worked on the tests which was the main feedback.
If I had to guess: this is an estimation of the width of the table which is smaller the more nested is the table.

Unfortunately the original reviewer is no longer with our organization. I can't approve this PR until I fully understand what this line does. If you like you can fork the repo and merge it in on your fork.

OK I understand. This line is originally to handle nested table which I think is fairly rare. If you agree, I will just remove the "nested" feature so that we can start with this simple case and then we can add more edge cases in the a future pull request?

Sure, that's a good idea

@kbattersby Do we need something else or we can merge this? 🙂 |
It's been approved and all checks passed, so you can merge it. |
|
Unfornutanetely I don't see the button 🤷 |
@clement-escolano OK I did it |
|
Thank you |
|
@kbattersby Is it possible to publish a new version please? Right now, I must install the package from GitHub instead of pypi to use this feature. Thank you |
|
@kbattersby Sorry to insist, is it possible to publish a new version in the near future? Thank you |
|
Ok we will do that. Most likely I'll be able to release it within the next week or 2. |
|
@kbattersby Thank you, I see you upgraded the version in the repository but I don't see it in pypi. There is probably an extra step missing. |
|
Yes I still need to release it. I've had some other tasks on my plate but I plan to get back to this quite soon. |
|
@clement-escolano It should be released now. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks! |
|
@kbattersby Thank you 🙏 |
Hello
Thank you for this library. I am also interested in table support and saw there was already an open pull request.
I took the first commit unchanged and changed the tests as you asked and also took into account some feedback.
What do you think?
Thank you
