No, the primary reason they are not done is that lynx does not handle them and browsing the handbook with more is rather less than ideal. Also, tables don't come out in the in the HTML anyway, although when I get a spare moment, I'll change that. The moment linux supports tables, we can launch an all out assault on the stuff in the handbook that needs it (and there is plenty!). So, without further delay, behold a table! <table> <tabular ca="ccc"> Column 1<colsep>Column 2<colsep>Column 3<rowsep> Column 1<colsep>Column 2<colsep>Column 3<rowsep> </tabular> <caption>This is the caption</caption> </table> This works for ascii and LaTeX output. The ca attribute is what you specify for your column formats in LaTeX, which is apparently pretty similar to what us use for in the troff world since the results are the same. -john == jfieber@indiana.edu =========================================== == http://fallout.campusview.indiana.edu/~jfieber ================
