Warn editors when a table may split during PDF export
Tables with many columns or long cell content can display fine in the editor and on the KB site, but split apart when exported to PDF; the last column(s) get pushed into a disconnected block below the table instead of staying aligned with their row. Editors currently have no way to know this will happen until they generate a PDF and inspect it, often after the article is already published. It will be helpful for the editor (Markdown, WYSIWYG, and Advanced WYSIWYG) to detect when a table is at risk of exceeding the PDF page width and show a visual warning at authoring time, e.g., a subtle icon/border on the table with a tooltip like "This table may not fit the PDF page width and could split during export." Suggested approach: Simple threshold warning based on column count (e.g., 5+ columns) More precise check based on estimated content width vs. the active PDF template's page size/margins Use case: Our customer builds reference tables (command comparisons, config settings, etc.) with 4+ columns. These render correctly in the KB portal but silently break apart in PDF exports, since the last column is split into a separate-looking table underneath. This wasn't caught until an end user downloaded the PDF, since nothing in the editor flagged the risk. An in-editor warning would let content authors fix the table (shorten content, reduce columns, or restructure) before publishing, rather than finding out through a support ticket.
