Description

Going over the docs, there does not seem to be a way to to resize a table column's width once drawn.
Seems like the only way to ensure all data is visible would be auditing the data going into tables to predefine a minimal width for each column so as to not cut-off any data, and would seem wasteful when the total available width can change depending on display - Best to let viewers control their table layout as fits their display.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked JavaScript table documentation and locating the table implementation and its existing tests; the issue names no files or test entry points. Define the supported column-resizing behavior and verify that viewers can adjust widths without data being cut off across changing display widths.
