This example shows how heavily formatted data will attempt to be placed into a table. When this fails, it makes the best of a bad job, in this case simply placing it inside <PRE>...</PRE> markup. This is recognition that the data is heavily formatted Jim, but not it's not a TABLE as we know it :)

The last paragraph, however is placed in a table. We've switched the table border to 0 to make this look better.
