There are lots of other things that can be done with tables, and indeed they have become the basic way of tricking web browsers into doing all sorts of complex things with format. Most of the commercial pages you see are lousy with tables, and when word processors save texts directly in HTML format they use tables to try to duplicate the original layout. The down side of all this is, of course, that the syntax for tables is cluttered, making them the very devil to edit once they have been created. For my own part, I loathe them.
