Follow up - I am talking about the formatting of straight text. Not text within a table. Thanks.
That is correct, and so was I.
Unless you're representing tabular data (i.e. the kind that would go into a spreadsheet), then you should not be using tables. I haven't used tables in any HTML I've written in several years, because frankly (unless it's tabular data), there is no point. (cue the religious war over tables vs. layout vs. css vs. divitis)
But my answer is still correct. You should try it and see what it does, then play with the values until you get the effect you're after, before you shoot it down as incorrect.
