# Prawn will make its best attempt to identify the best width for the columns.
# If the end result isn't good, we can override it with some styling.
#
# Individual column widths can be set with the <code>:column_widths</code>
# option. Just provide an array with the sequential width values for the columns
# or a hash were each key-value pair represents the column 0-based index and its
# width.
