Chris, Many thanks for your suggestion. My (very recently downloaded) version of Plucker doesn't appear to support the tables option; maybe somebody can guide me towards the one I need.
I'm running the Plucker Desktop 1.2.0.4 (dated 12 Feb 2003) on Windows 2000. I can't find any mention of a "tables" option in either the app or the help file. I can't tell which version of the Plucker parser is being used: Spider.py --version says "Plucker version @@VERSION@@". If I run Spider from the command line with a --tables option, it fails with the message "option --tables not recognised by Spider". The help text produced by Spider.py -h doesn't mention this option. What should I try next?

Stephen: I don't know which version of Plucker you are using or what OS you have, but most of the latest parsers support the '--tables' option. This will set up the Plucker Doc to show tables more like they were intended. All the released versions only support small tables, due to the same restrictions that limit the size of images. We're working on breaking this limit ( images all ready done, see http://hires.plkr.org ). --re: display of HTML <table> elements Chris Christopher R.
