I've been foolishly assuming that the tables in the uploaded Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii were coming out correctly and have discovered that on the Kobo, one, they aren't centered and I'm using auto on margin-left and margin-right, and two, columns that are supposed to be right justified are not, and three, if I use margin-top on the table tag it puts that space between the table and the caption even though the caption tag is enclosed by the table tags. Those things are working in ADE and Kindle Previewer 3 (but not on Kindle Previewer 2 but no surprise there). Here's my css for the numeric right justified columns:

Code:
table.col2num td:nth-child(2) {
    text-align: right;
}

table.col3num td:nth-child(3) {
    text-align: right;
}
etc.
The data really is tabular; production of sugar per year and whatnot. So how do you display a table in re-flowable format?
