Two things about this struck me.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The first thing is that while my table apparently looks and acts like a table, my screen reader says it isn't actually a table. I've checked in safari and chrome on my mac. Neither one reports my table as a table. using special navigation modes I can make it behave sort of like a table, but I can't jump directly to my table because it's not really official.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My phone doesn't see it as a table either. I pulled the page up in chrome on my droid and I can feel on my touch screen that the objects are as I placed them. I can even tell how much space there is between the smaller elements of the table as the right most column is considerably longer than the others. The phone though, like the computer, won't allow me to navigate directly to the table, and it won't report cell co-ordinates. Because of the usecase for this particular table, it's probably not a big deal, but I'm curious as to whether I may have missed something in my table directive. The table views in the documentation showing the output of the sample code are all properly recognized by my screen reader as tables.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If you want to see the table, click here:</div><div class=""><a href="http://www.erik-burggraaf.com/bum/pmwiki.php?n=About.Resume" class="">http://www.erik-burggraaf.com/bum/pmwiki.php?n=About.Resume</a></div><div class="">This page is not ready for public consumption even without the /e errors. I'm working on fixing the typos as we speak.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The second thing is in the documentation. There are no representations that I could find of line feeds or hard returns.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">For example:</div><div class="">(:table:) (:cellnr:) contents of 1A (:cell:) contents of cell 1B (:tabelend:)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is not the same as:</div><div class="">(:table:) </div><div class="">(:cellnr:) contents of cell 1A </div><div class="">(:cell:) contents of cell 1B </div><div class="">(:tableend:)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Without the lines the markup doesn't work, but from a screen reader blind point of view, there are no line feeds in the sample code. It didn't kill me. I bashed it around until it worked, but I'm wondering if the line feeds are represented somehow and I'm just missing them?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you for indulging my curiosity.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Erik</div></body></html>
