Numeric column widths are treated as proportions of the table width. Character widths must be valid CSS or LaTeX dimensions.
col_width(ht)
col_width(ht) <- value
set_col_width(ht, col, value)A huxtable.
A col specifier. See rowspecs for details.
Numeric or character vector.. Set to NA to reset to the default,
which is NA.
col_width() returns the col_width property.
set_col_width() returns the modified huxtable.
In LaTeX, if you specify a column width, but set wrap to FALSE and have
cells which overrun, then you may have problems with table position and with
background colours in other cells. The workaround is to adjust the width, so
that your cells no longer overrun.

row_height(),
