[iText-questions] Formating of Cells in a nested table.

[Tony S]

I've been having a problem for very long time.
Whenever I nest tables (Table class) the Cell Padding
and Vertical Alignment of cells do not work. I have
not tried PDFtables as I want to keep the ability to
output HTML documents. I have wrote a little program
to demostrate this. My goal is to get any text I place
off the bottom of the cell. So either Cell Padding or
vertical Alignment is ok with me. If any know a way to
to do this, please let me know.
thanks
