Not really a good advice, but kind of a workaround:
when I have the problem of styling only tables inside the wiki-content and
nothing else,
I use the "Approach 2", except that the selector looks like
#xwikicontent>table {
...
}
this selector does not style the livetables, because they are not directly
nested in the #xwikicontent
but nested inside additional div elements
Of course this approach does not work for tables which are deeper nested in the
normal content
(i.e. inside info-macros, or sections created with the '((( ... )))' syntax),
but most users do not create theses constructs, and those who do can speak
wiki-syntax,
and can be brought on board with "Approach 4" because they know (or can be
taught) the '(% class="bordered" %)' trick ...
... however so far this has not been necessary for me (because among my folks I
am the only one who needed this trick, and only once)

Betreff: [xwiki-users] Changing border-top color of basic tables
> Hi,
>
> I was looking into a way to modify the border-top color of tables in XWiki
> (defined in table.less) such that all basic tables have a solid 1px black
> top border (instead of the current solid 1px #ddd definition). I've been
> having trouble with finding a proper way to apply the style only to basic
> tables. Here are a few approaches I have taken:
>
> *Approach 1.* Override the tables.less file in our own tables_overrides.less
> and make all tables have a black 1px border.
> *Problem:* This selector is too general, and adds a black border to all
> tables on the page (History pane, Format guide, etc)
>
> *Approach 2.* Narrow the selector down to #xwikicontent (only the user’s
> content). #xwikicontent .table
> *Problem:* Now all tables in the xwikicontent div have borders and nowhere
> outside; however, other tables (such as those used by live tables) are also
> selected, making the LiveTables look wrong.
>
> *Approach 3.* Modify only the source where the border-color is defined
> (because table styles simply use @table-border-color variable to define the
> default border-top style
> *Problem:* XWiki uses tables throughout (i.e. History pane) and these tables
> also use @table-border-color, making their border-top black as well.
>
> *Approach 4.* Create a new table class (i.e. class=“bordered”) so that we
> can specifically select tables defined by CKEditor and nothing else. Hook
> into CKEditor table dialog and set Stylesheet Classes to “bordered” by
> default
> *Problem:* Users creating tables via source editor will have no context of
> adding borders to their table and their tables will not have proper borders
> by default
>
> As of now, there does not seem to be any clear cut way of selecting only the
> basic tables (because so many other parts of XWiki use that basic table). I
> was wondering if anyone has any insight on a possible solution to this
> issue. Thanks!
