No Easy Way to Set @colsep and @rowsep on Table in Author Mode
I'm trying to track down a rendering bug in complex tables and thus doing more table editing than I normally do. Just realized I can set @colsep and @rowsep on <table> to turn all the rules on in the table but there doesn't appear to be an easy way to do this from the table editor in Author mode. I would expect check boxes on the initial table creation dialog for "all column rules" and "all row rules" or something similar. Have I missed something in the UI or is there a considered reason for not providing this option?

Hi Eliot, For Oxygen 16 (summer of 2014) we are actively working on more table-related features. You'll have a specific action to modify various properties on an existing table among which the @colsep and @rowsep properties you are interested in. We'll add easier ways of selecting a table's cells and settings various properties to them. We also have an issue logged in to allow the user to control these same options when a new table is inserted. We'll try to fix this issue as well in Oxygen 16.

Hello, In version 15.2 we've enhanced the form controls used to edit the colspecs. Rowsep and colsep can also be specified on colspecs and now you have a checkbox for each one of them. It's not the same as setting the attributes on the table itself but it's also a convenient way to set separators. By default the colspecs are hidden so you have to click on a button above the table to present them or change the applied CSS from the Styles button on the toolbar. If you want, you can also add two checkbox form controls before the table that will edit these two attributes.
