This already looks much better.
A few things about egpage2a.html though:
* white space is important, it must be symmetrical, if
fact I much prefer the same white space treatment as
in the original dictionary HTML
* I gather, <!--top jump start--> and <divid="Header">
should be mutually exclusive
* THEAD is a kind of "row group", but it that has
only one element is not a group. So TR id="..." is more
appropriate here.
* separation of symbol and ranks is too fussy. Either putting
them all in one TD with a class or id, or at most separating
just symbol and ranks together in spans:
<span id="sym">^</span><span id="rank">0 0 0</span>
but this is too much, as they could be easily split by space.
I think just TD would suffice
<TD id="sym">^ 0 0 0</TD>
Also to identify the page, HEAD/TITLE is used.
* I am not sure <divid="Examples"> has much merit,
with <P> addition, the rest of the page can be just
thought as part of the body.
* The same refers to <divid="Content">.
It could also be just part of body.
