You are not doing anything wrong. However, you do need to upgrade prawn-table. This was an upstream bug and has since been fixed. However, prawn-table has yet to be released with this fix, so you have to load the gem from GitHub.

See https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-pdf/issues/599#issuecomment-485709277 for instructions and an explanation.

Best,

I'm having trouble formatting an autowidth table when the header cell is wider than all the cells in the column: the header cell wraps unnecessarily (even if the header is only one word, the last letter wraps).

Here is an example of three tables:
[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header Cell
|text
|====

[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header
|text
|====

[options="header,autowidth"]
|====
|Header
|more text
|====
Formatting with asciidoctor-pdf looks like this...

Conversion to HTML (with plain asciidoctor) works fine.

Is my syntax incorrect, or is there a workaround I can use?
