Given all the warnings in the preceding sections, it seems appropriate to start by asking you to format a very simple table. I've chosen one that comes from (one of the lighter chapters of) a text on computer networks by Andrew Tanenbaum. It is a chart of some of the punctuation sequences used to add a bit of feeling to email messages. I've formatted it below using the "PRE" tag. As your first encounter with HTML tables I want you to format it as a <TABLE . . .>.

You could do this by simply starting up PageSpinner and typing in the appropriate tags. You should, however first read the next section which discusses the facilities PageSpinner provides to make it easier to create tables.
