Which algorithm to use to lay out any tables. Two algorithms are specified by CSS2 - the "auto" algorithm, which is the algorithm used by most HTML browsers (columns are sized depending on their content and any width parameters), and the "fixed" algorithm (columns are sized depending on the width of the cell in the first row, and the width of the table must be specified).
For more information see the CSS2 specification.
