Werner:

Whats this code in pre-html.cc supposed to be doing?


#ifdef PAGEA4
#  define DEFAULT_VERTICAL_OFFSET  0   // DEFAULT_VERTICAL_OFFSET/72 of an inch
#else
#  define DEFAULT_VERTICAL_OFFSET 50   // DEFAULT_VERTICAL_OFFSET/72 of an inch
#endif


If I change the DEFAULT_VERTICAL_OFFSET from 50 to 0, then the table
images will come out just fine.  This is the only place in the entire
source tree where the #ifdef "PAGEA4" is used.
