thank you @youthelectronix - will take a look!

TLDR: I think the problem is in the attributes/values within the <Table> element that @youthelectronix is using. Tables created with the current default Pressbooks markup export no problem in mPDF. And when I removed style="width: auto;" from the table element, I was able to export the table in mPDF.

So I don't know if this is a bug or if the table just needs to be recreated using the updated Pressbooks markup. Here are the specifics of what I found:

When I used the following table markup, which is the deafult table markup I get when I create a new table in Pressbooks, I have no problems exporting a table in mPDF:

HTML view:

mPDF view:

However, when I imitate the html provided in the above example, I get the following:

HTML view:

Visual Editor view:

MPDF view:

**Note that I also tried creating the table using the same width="XXpx" values used in the previous example, but that did not affect the mPDF output.

When I removed style="width: auto;" from the table element, I get the following:

HTML view:

mPDF view:

And I forgot to compare behaviour to Prince.

The style="width: auto;" is not a problem in Prince PDF exports. Table elements with that attribute/value appear fine, so this is definately a mPDF problem.
