The table is looking tolerable, but other larger tables most certainly do give problems to me. And you are right, the span tag does act as an invisible table cell, especially when i use colspan attribute in a <th> cell, the table seems to consider the span as a cell. One can see this happening clearly with some background color in the <th>.
I tried to find some solution by tweaking the plugin code but did not have enough knowledge of TW insides, so I just left it and took up asylum in the most gracious <nowiki> tag :-) On Jul 17, 9:32 am, "Mark S." <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks shavinder.
