TABLES can contain TABLES

Each table cell can in turn contain its own table. This allows for more precise structuring of table layout, and of table borders. The following example shows how this can work.

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN=3 ALIGN="center"><H2>This is an Overall
Title</h2></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center">
<TABLE BORDER=4 CELLSPACING=8>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN="center">Table Two </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Item 1 </TD> <TD> Item 2 </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
<TD WIDTH=20%> </TD>
<TD ALIGN="center" VALIGN="center">
<TABLE BORDER=4 CELLSPACING=8>
<TR>
<TD COLSPAN=2 ALIGN="center">Table Three </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Item 3 </TD> <TD> Item 4 </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

The above table is displayed as....
