Latex does sound like a good option.

If you went the html route though, this is how you can make a table.

For the simplest table that would work on a very old browser:

- [HTML Tables](https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp)

For a bootstrap table (which classes are available in jupyter):

- [Tables · Bootstrap](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/content/tables/) – _you just add the “table” class to a table element_

// the second option is what is used in: [Best tool for printing tables in Jupyter notebook? - #8 by djsegal](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/best-tool-for-printing-tables-in-jupyter-notebook/3548/8)

( beyond this, i guess i don’t really understand the use-case 😕 )

**edit:** you could for example, then, prevent cells from being wider than 160px or something

// see the `max-width` style [attribute](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_dim_max-width.asp)
