[Bug] cellPadding not respected for unstyled table about jspdf-autotable HOT 5 OPEN

The styles options are not respected because useCss is set to true thus the CSS styles are used rather than the provided style options.

Although you commented out the CSS styles, the table still has CSS styles, even if you set padding: unset CSS rule, it will get parsed to 0px padding so cellPadding won't be respected.

When using cssStyle: true you should use CSS rules to style your table, if you want padding add padding in the CSS.

Well, it is not the style options that are not respected. Only cellPadding is not respected. If I add this style fillColor: [100, 0, 100] to bodyStyles, it will be respected and applied, but cellPadding will not.

You will find that some styles may apply like fillColor because the background color is none, but most won't because CSS styles will override it, so this isn't a bug really.

If you want to style the table yourself with style options, set useCss to false, and theme to 'plain' and add the styles you want.

  useCss: false,
  theme: 'plain',

I want both of them - CSS and style options - and assumed that style options override CSS, but it appears to be the opposite. I create the PDF from dynamic tables that bring their own styles I want to keep, like fonts, colors, etc. But I also want to have equal styles for all tables like the cell padding.
The only escape hatch I found so far that worked for me is borrowed from this SO answer where they used the didParseCell hook to override any styles using style options.

I think it also make sense that options override html parsing. But as mentioned above right now the plugin might override some values either incorrectly.
