Cannot set table cell margins

[kristofferjalen]

I understand table cell margins should be set like this:

var tableCellMarginDefault = new TableCellMarginDefault(
   new TopMargin { Width = "21", Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Pct },
   new StartMargin { Width = "21", Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Pct },
   new BottomMargin { Width = "21", Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Pct },
   new EndMargin { Width = "21", Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Pct });

var tableProperties = new TableProperties(tableCellMarginDefault);

I cannot find a way to assign the TableProperties instance to a table though.

I don't think we expose margins directly yet. We only support choosing one of the built-in styles which already have the required margins set. This needs to be added/exposed.

Additional questions for it:

• you're after setting totally custom style or modifying existing styles?
• what would be expectation when you have table with style GridTable6ColorfulAccent1 that you "modify" on the table - would you want it to apply to all tables using same style or the style should now be cloned and become new style?

The more think about it, the more complicated it becomes to implement.

Some documentation around this:

• https://c-rex.net/projects/samples/ooxml/e1/Part4/OOXML_P4_DOCX_tblCellMar_topic_ID0E2LER.html

It seems tableCellMarginDefault is settable on the style itself. However one can use TableCellMargin to apply margins directly to specific table.

<w:tblPr>
  <w:tblCellMar>
    <w:top w:w="144" w:type="dxa"/>
    <w:left w:w="144" w:type="dxa"/>
    <w:bottom w:w="144" w:type="dxa"/>
    <w:right w:w="144" w:type="dxa"/>
  </w:tblCellMar>
  …
</w:tblPr>

We need to support both, but in different ways.
