How to create a dynamic width column in Twitter Bootstrap

Question

How do you use Twitter Bootstrap to create a table-like list structure, where some columns take as much space, as required to accommodate the widest element of that column,

Answer 1

if you don't need to limit the column size, you can just disable the width.

I need the bootstrap definition for the other column's properties (padding, height, etc.), so I added a col definition, but a small unit (col-xs-1).

notes:

• the "!important" clause might be dropped (i'm not sure)
• In my project the texts are known to be small anyway.
