I have an asciiDoc file with several tables and one of them need a specific styling. So far i have this working :

[cols="10%,^30%,^30%,^30%", option="header"]
|===
| {empty} s| Rédaction s| Vérification s| Approbation

| Nom | Auteur | |
| Date | {docdate} | |
| Visa | OK | |
|===

but i'd like to change this table text size and to style the header row. I tried to add a role to this table without success. So far the only way of styling the header is to set a global style to all tables in my theme.yml :

table:
  head:
    background-color: #555555

Is there a way to style a specific table (which is correctly rendered when converted to PDF ?)

Thanks for help :)

Asciidoctor PDF currently only supports custom roles for styling paragraphs and phrases. If you need to add a role to a table and have that role affect the table style, you must create an extended converter that applies the style appropriately. Fortunately, there is an example in the documentation.
