Yeah, GetText uses TreeBuilder & FormatText to remove tags and try to do minimal formatting, and FormatText doesn't support HTML tables. :( Are you trying to get the table in textual form? Remember, GetText is meant to grab non-HTML text, or to convert HTML to plain text. Anyway, maybe GetHtml and some form of StripTags is the right thing to do here.
