All tables are messed up

Post by dr »

Hi, why do the tables look like this?

It seems to be every table on all pages (this one is from the GDT page). Is some recent update to the css standard perhaps causing this?

Best regards,

What's wrong with that table? It looks fine to me. It's formatted to match the tables in the Intel SDM.

There are "bit-numbers" on top of the headers in bold & highlight, and other numbers inside the table in roman which is not highlighted. Very confusing at first, if you've never seen that standard before. Looked like messed up formatting.

But I think I get it now. I suppose the outer refers to the entire descriptor and the inner to the specific kind of the field. Everything seems easy in hindsight :)

It's to be expected that a messed up descriptor format has a corresponding messed up wiki table.
