    table { width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; }
    td { border: 1px solid #000; padding: 5px; }
</style>
<div class="header">Document Header</div>
<div class="content">
    <p>Document content...</p>
    <table>
        <tr>
            <td>ID</td>
            <td>Item</td>
            <td>Price</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
