What happens at 390px

The table states hasFixedLayout: false, so its columns size to their content instead of being forced into equal fractions of the screen. .wp-block-table is a WordPress core overflow-x: auto container, so once the columns need more room than the phone has, the table becomes a horizontal rail inside its own figure: the page never scrolls sideways, the table does, and every column stays whole. Fixed layout would have shredded the words instead, because core sets word-break: break-word on the cells of a fixed table. The figcaption says the table scrolls, because a scroll container with no affordance is a silent failure of its own. No CSS ships to buy any of this.

Questions

Data ledger table: common questions

Does Data ledger table need a plugin?

No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, group, heading, paragraph and table), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.

Will Data ledger table match my theme?

Choose by variation. Paper and Night ledger take your theme’s palette; Ink and vermilion brings its own colours.

How many variations does Data ledger table have?

3: Paper, Night ledger and Ink and vermilion. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.

Is Data ledger table free?

It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.

Which WordPress version does it need?

Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.

The markup

4.5KB of core-block markup, 6 blocks (button, buttons, group, heading, paragraph, table), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
