I have some data that would best be put into a table, but since I'm not real proficient at creating HTML tables, I'd like to ask this question before I go through the task of creating a table.

If I create a large table (let's say 15 rows) that will definitely span 2 pages, how does an ebook reader display that info? Will it only display that part that it can on a single page and ignore the rest, or will it span the table across two pages?

If it will span it across two or more pages, will it sill look OK, or will it look a bit "ugly" if it does it that way?

Thanks,

Andy
