654654 <p> To layout a table, user agents must apply the following actions:
655655 <ol>
656- <li><b> Determine the amount of rows/columns the table requires.</b>
657- This is done by executing the steps described in [[#dimensioning-the-row-column-grid]] .

659- <li><b> If the table has at least one caption, compute their minimum width.</b>
660- This is done by computing their min-content width (including margins and paddings)
656+ <li><b> If the table has at least one caption, compute their minimum width.</b><br/>
657+ This is done by computing their min-content width (including margins, borders and paddings)
661658 under the assumption their parent has a zero width and overflow:visible.
662659 The largest such width will be known as <a href="#capmin">CAPMIN</a> .
