[color=888888]I do not know if this will help but I'm leaving this here so you can better see the rules I'm looking at when I'm playing with our table code and to add insight to BP's comment on the 'table inside table' issue. The below table is 'bordered' so it's easier to see the layout of the individual cells and the nested table within it.

[h1][/h1]
[sub][color=gray]fig.1[/color][/sub]
[color=white][table=bordered][row]Text in the top row not placed into a cell can be strung across the top of the table without limitation. Any text within the table but outside a cell (or row) will also appear here. This row is not bold.
[cell]Text in the top row placed IN a cell is forced BOLD and confined within cell alignment.[/cell][/row][row][cell]NORMAL[/cell][cell]BOLD

[table=bordered][row][/row][row][cell]This nested table will force BOLD on the following:
[list]
[*]Text anywhere within this nested table
[*]Text within the cell the table is nested in, even if that text is not within the nested table itself.
[*]Text in any subsequent cells in the same row following the cell with the nested table.
[/list][/cell][cell]BOLD[/cell][/row][/table]
[/cell][cell]BOLD
edit: Text in a cell following the cell with the nested table will start from the bottom.[/cell][/row][row][cell]NORMAL[/cell][cell]NORMAL[/cell][cell]NORMAL[/cell][/row][/table][/color]

This next table is the same as above but with all borders removed. The lines that are still visible have been added without input from me.

If I have any request or suggestion about tables that I think would improve its use, I believe it would be absolutely amazing to have all these automatically added lines removed. I spend a lot of time trying to cover them up and there are certain lines I can do nothing about. They kind of pop up in annoying places and limit what I can do with the tables. There are some interesting things I've wanted to try but cannot because these silly little white lines will poke out from behind whatever it is I'm trying to design.

The thick white line at the bottom. Please torment someone else. I do not like you.[/hider]
