Cell width in Pluto Notebook

General Usage
1

I’ve changed from Jupyter to Pluto notebook a couple months ago, and so far I’m having a very nice experience with it. But sometimes, when I plot some results to show my students, I would like to have a wider cell. Is there any easy way to increase the cell width in Pluto notebooks?

I saw the following somewhere and it works for me… Put this in a cell…

html"""<style>
main {
    max-width: 1900px;
}
"""

This increases the size of the cell only from the left side, the free space in the right side remain the same.
Can the size be increased from both the sides?
My pluto version is: Pluto v0.14.2

Thank you in advance!

This works pretty well for me. It also caps the cell width by 90% of screen width.

using HypertextLiteral

@bind screenWidth @htl("""
	<div>
	<script>
		var div = currentScript.parentElement
		div.value = screen.width
	</script>
	</div>
""")

begin
	cellWidth= min(1000, screenWidth*0.9)
	@htl("""
		<style>
			pluto-notebook {
				margin: auto;
				width: $(cellWidth)px;
			}
		</style>
	""")
end

I am getting UndefVarError: @htl not defined - please advise.

This is an even better solution:

html"""
<style>
	main {
		margin: 0 auto;
		max-width: 2000px;
    	padding-left: max(160px, 10%);
    	padding-right: max(160px, 10%);
	}
</style>

Works like a dream - thanks!

Is there a way to have Pluto automatically add a cell with this when I open a notebook?

See [ANN] PlutoStyles.jl: override styles of Pluto notebooks for applying styles to all notebook without modifying their files.

The solution from this post within a notebook has the advantage over PlutoStyles.jl to work also in an exported static HTML. However, I have noticed that printing to PDF was bad, so I suggest to limit it to the screen as follows:

html"""
<style>
	@media screen {
		main {
			margin: 0 auto;
			max-width: 2000px;
    		padding-left: max(283px, 10%);
    		padding-right: max(383px, 10%); 
            # 383px to accomodate TableOfContents(aside=true)
		}
	}
</style>
