Comment 1 Jeff Fearn 🐞 2008-04-29 05:15:12 UTC

Nested tables cause enormous problems in the PDF output, make debugging and
supporting the tool chain significantly more difficult, and usually reflect poor
content structure. For these reasons this tag will not receive support.

e.g. the table in the IPA release notes would be better layed out with the most
significant factor, the number of entries, on the left hand side:

Num Entries  | RAM   | HDD | CPU
10K - 250K   | 256MB | 2GB | P3
250K - 1M    | 512MB | 4GB | P3
1M+          | 1GB   | 8GB | P3

This removes the table nesting and makes it far more obvious to the reader what
the important factor is for deciding hardware requirements.
