Maybe my increase was too conservative (I increased from 2px to 4px). I 
have no increased it to 8px

Given the text is left-aligned, why would more right-padding than 
left-padding be important?

Apparently, this is a bug in the prawn-table library asciidoctor-pdf 
uses to render the table (it didn't take the actual font-size into 
account or something). It is supposedly fixed upstream, but that fix 
hasn't been released. It should be possible to monkey-patch it, but it 
isn't exactly clear how to do that for the Gradle plugin, if it is 
possible at all, and I think my time is better spent on converting the 
documentation.

In any case, I have updated the example:

1. More padding
2. Fourth example, with autowidth in HTML output and fullwidth in PDF
