I just compiled 2.8 to see if the table formatting had improved and in
one glance I can think of a potentially helpful modification. When it
parses <tr> ... </tr>, wouldn't there be a benefit to imply a new line
or something to cause the next <tr> to begin on the next line??
I was looking at a (poorly formatted) page that used five columns - it
had 4 with small icons (and no ALT tags) and a journal title. The one
oddity I noticed was a line that appeared to have only three [INLINE]s
when the first of four was at the end of the previous line. Seems the
modification should be rather simple, but it's been ages since I took
a look through Lynx's code.
