Python 3: Bad table formatting with empty columns
See original GitHub issueContent of the columns are overlapped if there’s an empty cells.
Here is code for reproducing:
# -*- encoding: utf-8 -*-
from xhtml2pdf import pisa
import sys
py_version = '{0}.{1}'.format(sys.version_info[0], sys.version_info[1])
outputFilename = "bad_table_" + py_version + ".pdf"
source_html = '<html><body>' \
'<table>' \
'<tr>' \
'<td>Item</td><td>Value 1</td><td>Value2</td><td>Value3</td>' \
'</tr>' \
'<tr>' \
'<td>Item 1</td><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td>' \
'</tr>' \
'<tr>' \
'<td>Item 2</td><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td>' \
'</tr>' \
'<tr>' \
'<td>Item 3</td><td>31</td><td>32</td><td>33</td>' \
'</tr>' \
'<tr>' \
'<td>TOTAL</td><td></td><td></td><td>100</td>' \
'</tr>' \
'</table>' \
'</body></html>'
if __name__ == "__main__":
result_file = open(outputFilename, "w+b")
pisa_status = pisa.CreatePDF(
source_html,
dest=result_file)
result_file.close()
print(pisa_status)
And this is how results are compared.
I’ve used a latest version from develop branch 1.a1

Yes, the problem appears only in Python3. I’ve described workaround and I’ll try to propose a fix for that
@arkadicolson The code for Python 2 and 3 is the same, can you state which version of XHTML2PDF you are on, and an example input and output?
