The problem is that the spaces between [[cell]] and the following text are
causing the text to be rendered monospace and as a <pre> element.  Thus
the [[cell]] line that says "A phonebooth that teleports..." is causing
the table to be extra wide.

One solution is to eliminate the space between [[cell]] and the text
that follows in any pages you create.

Another solution is to add the following to your config.php:

    $DoubleBrackets['/^(\\[\\[cell(nr)?\\]\\])\\s+/'] = '$1';

which will automatically get PmWiki to ignore any spaces that exist
following the [[cell]] or [[cellnr]] markup.
