Ahhh... of course something as easy as that doesn't hit me.

Calibre or KindleGen... do these try to convert tables to basic text?

Should be ok, especially for personal usage. Sometimes you have to keep in mind people who read with HUGE FONT SIZE on a tiny device.... but at that point, sometimes you just have to give up trying to please everyone.

Not like an image of the table would help in that case, the person wouldn't be able to read the tiny font in the image!

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. I posted it in the Sigil 0.7.3 thread for you as a feature request.

To create tables manually, I sometimes just use LibreOffice Calc. I stick all the info in the cells, and then export as XHTML, and then use Regex to clean up the code.

I also recently used LibreOffice to easily "rotate" an HTML table from horizontal to vertical:

It went from 13x2 to 2x13 (a number for every month + avg).
