Well we've had to face this problem for the date-time docs.  Basically we had 
to refactor all our tables manually to make sure there would be enough room 
for stuff to fit.  You can see the result here:

Look at one of the classes like posix_time_zone on page 44.  You can see our 
tables are like this:

   Syntax               Description
                        -----------
                        Example



This form basically ensures 2-column breakout so there's enough space for code 
examples and such.  Even with that we had to goof around with smaller fonts, 
shorter names in code and such to get things to fit right.  It wasn't exactly 
'push the button' to get things to look reasonable.
