Padding

Add space inside table cells for better readability.

AI-assisted, human-approvednovem uses AI to review and keep our documentation up to date.

Padding adds space inside a cell on its top, bottom, left, or right side. Specify a size from 1 to 5.

The instructions are similar to other novem plot with two slicers followed by direction and size. The direction codes are identical to the border direction codes and are as follows:

 l  -- add left padding to cell
 r  -- add right padding to cell
 t  -- add top padding to cell
 b  -- add bottom padding to cell

 x  -- add left and right padding to cell
 y  -- add top and bottom padding to cell

 a  -- add paddings to sides of the cell

No padding

The below table shows a table with no extra padding applied. This creates a compact, condensed look that works well when space is limited.

Additional padding

Increase the padding to add more space between the text and cell borders.

Hierarchies

You can use left padding to emulate a hierarchy structure, making it visually clear which rows are sub-items of others.
