<div>Reading the bug title, it sounds like the broken <br/> only appl=
ies to table cells spanning more than one column/row, so that may apply to =
fewer situations.<br><br>Does <p/> work? This would give a weak worka=

more commonly used.<br><br>brew<br></div><font color=3D"#990099">-----lon-=

about creating an attribute for <table> like TeXwidth for<br><img&=
