... or if you care about whitespace and have any css styling that preserves whitespace with no corresponding pre tag in the xhtml.

The "prettifying" for tables can be adjusted but people are so particular about table layout and what users prefer is idiosyncratic, so trying to please everyone is just not possible.

Some want a complete row on one line, while others want each row to be blocks with indented td values one per line. In the latter case, things can be found easier as the structure of the table is more clearly delineated by the indentation, counts can be made, etc.

Prettify is never meant to make the smallest representation but a representation where it is easy to find and detect structure for CV purposes.

As you said, when it works, the entire table changes nothing when seen in Preview.

If you can in detail give me an example of a "better" Prettified table that will clearly show structure, then by all means propose one and try to get people here to agree with you.

If there is enough interested parties in the new format, I will take a shot at making the Prettify code do that for a future release.
