[TYPO3] Problem styling tables (contenttable)

This has nothing to do with your problem, since it is just the PHP code used
to render the content element type "table" but not the tables of any RTE.

Yes ;-)

Go to the TSOB (TypoScript Objectbrowser) and foldout the section

lib.parseFunc_RTE

inside you will find some other foldouts:

externalBlocks => table => stdWrap => HTMLparser => tags => table

and this is the place you have been looking for.

In human readable language it means: Treat <table> tags as external blocks,
that have to be parsed separately and define how the tag <table> of these
blocks should be processed.

In this case there is something like

fixAttrib {
    class {
        default = contenttable
        always = 1
        list = contenttable
    }
}

This means that the class attribute of table tags has to be checked for the
class name.
If there is no class attribute at all (always) or just no class name
(default), the class name should be "contenttable".
If there is a class name it must be in the comma separated list (list), else
the first element of the list is taken.

For you this means: It should be enough to add your class name to the comma
separated list to prevent the parser from changing it to "contenttable".

All in one line it should be:
lib.parseFunc_RTE.externalBlocks.table.stdWrap.HTMLparser.tags.table.fixAttr
ib.class.list = yourname
