Why do tables get huge empty block prefixes? by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 04/20/2012, 6:03am PDT
If I want to code, say, a code example, I usually have to use a table. I am not sure if the TT attribute works to allow tabs to show
This has 5 tabs
But this has 4


So TT works to get a monospace font but intervening spaces are eliminated. What about the CODE attribute?
This has 5 tabs
But this has 4


Nope, that's the same.

So I might use a table, but unless I use a class= code on the table - I had to look at the page source of a rendered page to guess the codes - tables often show up as black on black. Useful to hide spoilers but not much else. They also have a huge empty space in front of them, 5 or more lines. But it's not consistent, sometimes tables show immediately and sometimes they don't The following table is invisible, the second table is not:
table 1You can see this text without highlighting it with the mouse. The text in the following table (table 2) cannot be seen unless you highlight it with the mouse.

table 2You can't see this text unless you highlight it with the mouse. The text in table 1 and the next text in table 3 are visible without highlighting.

table 3You can see this text (table 3) without highlighting it with the mouse. The text in the center table (table 2) cannot be seen unless you highlight it with the mouse.
