## Styling Tables

Tables can be styled with css properties, such as ```table-layout```,```border```,```border-collapse```,```border-spacing```,```width```,```height```,```text-align```,```font```,```color```,```empty-cells```, ```caption-side```, etc.

### Example
```css
/*set table border to solid black*/
table, th, td {
   border: 1px solid black;
}
table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
}
/*set padding of 15px to all table elements and aligns to left*/
th, td {
    padding: 15px;
    text-align: left;
}
```
