Timeshifter: My question doesn't feel entirely relevant to Help:Table until I know it can or cannot be done. If it can be done with a table, then I would like to recommend its inclusion. I've read in the Help page of three ways to adjust the width of a cell (and by extension, the table): pixel width (px), point width (pt), and em numbers. While I could dial this in for my display, it may behave oddly on other displays or if I change my browser's zoom factor.

How do I get a colored background to display all the way to the end of the screen without scrolling or wrapping, and automatically adjusts for display/zoom (provided that the text itself is less than the width of the screen)? Here are two examples... except the background stops just after the text:

As you see, only the box immediately surrounding the text has a LightBlue background. I would like the background to go right to the edge of the screen, always at the maximum width no matter how much I zoom in or out my display. How is that done? — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 23:05, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-06-21T23:05:00.000Z","author":"CJDOS","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-CJDOS-2021-06-21T23:05:00.000Z-Setting_maximum_width_relative_to_display","replies":[],"displayName":"CJDOS,\u00a0Sheridan,\u00a0OR"}}-->

Update: I apologize for bothering you. I just came across the answer to my question: add display:block; to the style= parameter. Would this info be a useful inclusion to the Help:Table page? — CJDOS, Sheridan, OR (talk) 23:17, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-06-21T23:17:00.000Z","author":"CJDOS","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-CJDOS-2021-06-21T23:17:00.000Z-Setting_maximum_width_relative_to_display","replies":["c-Timeshifter-2021-06-22T01:19:00.000Z-CJDOS-2021-06-21T23:17:00.000Z"],"displayName":"CJDOS,\u00a0Sheridan,\u00a0OR"}}-->

Can you give me an example? So I can look at in action with all the wikitext. --Timeshifter (talk) 01:19, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2021-06-22T01:19:00.000Z","author":"Timeshifter","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-Timeshifter-2021-06-22T01:19:00.000Z-CJDOS-2021-06-21T23:17:00.000Z","replies":["c-CJDOS-2021-06-22T01:27:00.000Z-Timeshifter-2021-06-22T01:19:00.000Z"]}}-->

I was looking at the many display property values here:

I am a newb concerning most of them.

Feel free to add more info to Help:Table. Add to existing sections, and/or start new ones.
