[LON-CAPA-users] large formulas

[Felicia Berryman]

Maybe this is over-simplified for your tables question, but I've had to 
throw in a non-breaking space between <td></td> to get an empty cell to 
work in html.  I think it's &nbs.  The back pages of the little HTML 
book has it.  I'm not sure how the transfer to tex works though.  You 
might have to throw in a <display>&web(....)</display> between <td></td>.
