Thanks, Radu. That produced the change I need, though I limited the selector to 
th[style] and td[style].

I’m assuming that CSS declarations are acceptable content for the ‘style’ 
attribute based on the example in 
https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.2/attribute/style.html:

<tr>
<td style="background: lightgrey" colspan="7">Preschool</td>
</tr>

Subject: Re: [oXygen-user] Table formatting: style attribute

Hi Michael,

We (the Oxygen XML developers) are not very familiar with the JATS format.

Oxygen uses CSS to render the JATS content in the Author visual editing mode. 
If for example you open the CSS 
"OXYGEN_INSTALL_DIR/frameworks/jats/lib/author-css/authoring-extension.css" CSS 
and add this selector to it:
*[style]{
    -oxy-style:attr(style);
}
then save your CSS and re-open your JATS file, Oxygen's visual editing should 
interpret the small CSS snippet value from any element which has a "style" 
attribute.

But is this correct according to the standard?

https://jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-kkw2.html<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-kkw2.html__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!5UqrygK3OTCVWUckqPixZjhgdhWr64We_KH3SmfdyV6hT0Iymy8clGtEVsrSv4uWqJbpsnY3eD-nYPKvVSl8mcSD$>
with many of the elements within a NISO JATS 
table(<table><https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jats.nlm.nih.gov/archiving/tag-library/1.1d1/n-by90.html__;!!BpyFHLRN4TMTrA!5UqrygK3OTCVWUckqPixZjhgdhWr64We_KH3SmfdyV6hT0Iymy8clGtEVsrSv4uWqJbpsnY3eD-nYPKvVdf-bzfM$>),
 records the name of the style to be applied to the element;
The value of the @style attribute seems in the standard to indicate more a 
style name which should indicate the styling.

Regards,

Radu

Is Oxygen supposed to heed the ‘style’ attribute on <th> and <td> elements in 
the JATS table model when it’s rendering tables? It doesn’t appear to be doing 
so.

I’m using Oxygen 25.0 on macOS X 12.6. I’m creating tables using the JATS table 
model in a framework that uses CSS files copied from the JATSKit framework. 
When I add a style attribute like this—

<td align="center" valign="bottom"
    style="border-bottom: solid thin black; border-right: solid thin 
black">X</td>

—the rules I hope to see on the cell don’t appear.

(For background: I’m creating tables in the JATS model by converting tables 
from the OASIS model. In the OASIS model, the <entry> element has ‘colsep’ and 
‘rowsep’ attributes to make a rule appear on the right or bottom edge of the 
table cell. Since there are no direct analogues of those attributes in the JATS 
model <th> and <td> elements, I’m using the ‘style’ attribute instead.)
