Table title is cut off if title is wider than table

[nathanrboyer]

I would think default behavior should be to center the table beneath the full title.

Hi @nathanrboyer

Sorry for the delay. Can you please explain me better what do you want? I think I did not understand correctly.

For the above table, I would like max(title_width, table_width) to determine the display width with spaces added around the sides of the table if needed like below so the title isn't cut short.

Sorry, I didn't explain well. Here is a full MWE now that I understand the problem a little better.

I don't find either option for the long title satisfactory. There doesn't seem to be any way to center the table beneath the title if the title is wider than the table. I would like to achieve the same look with the long title as with the short title above. For the long title, spacing would be added to the left of the table until it is centered underneath the full long title.

Hi @nathanrboyer

Yes, I now see what you want. However, implementing this will take a while because the system will need modifications to allow centering the table in the screen or in the title.
