Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've already found some answers here, but I tried searching for an answer to the following question without any luck.

I'm using Calibre to convert HTML to EPUB (for the iPad). The HTML uses cellpadding="6" on the table tag to get margins within table cells, but this apparently is not observed as I get no cell margins in the epub (as viewed with the iPad or the Firefox add-on).

I also tried setting style="margin-left: 6; margin-right: 6" on the table element and on a td element, but this also seemed to have no effect.

Can anyone tell me what construct I need to use in the HTML in order to get cell margins in the epub?

Thanks,
Gary
