Is Oxygen supposed to heed the ‘style’ attribute on <th> and <td> elements in the JATS table model when it’s rendering tables? It doesn’t appear to be doing so.

 

I’m using Oxygen 25.0 on macOS X 12.6. I’m creating tables using the JATS table model in a framework that uses CSS files copied from the JATSKit framework. When I add a style attribute like this—

 

<td align="center" valign="bottom"
    style="border-bottom: solid thin black; border-right: solid thin black">X</td>

 

—the rules I hope to see on the cell don’t appear.

 

(For background: I’m creating tables in the JATS model by converting tables from the OASIS model. In the OASIS model, the <entry> element has ‘colsep’ and ‘rowsep’ attributes to make a rule appear on the right or bottom edge of the table cell. Since there are no direct analogues of those attributes in the JATS model <th> and <td> elements, I’m using the ‘style’ attribute instead.)
