Help file suggestion

Hi,
Would it be possible to turn the ANSI/ASCII tables in the CHM help file into actual proper HTML tables? i.e. <table>...</table>. Currently with the way they're laid out, they're out-of-order and it's nearly impossible for a screen reader user like myself to utilize them.
Also, I found a tiny typo in the help, I think it's probably just worth putting it here: In the PoFMT command line options, there's an extra r before the description of /o:
Quote/O
rSpecifies the name of the output file.
Thanks!

Hi Quin,

Could you be more specific?  If you access the help file clicking on ANSI or ASCII tables then choose view source it shows <table ..<tr>.<td..</td>...</tr>... </table> so it conforms, as it must, to the .chm format and is 'proper html'.  It is displayed in the most common orientation found for this type of table.

Perhaps using the source you can change it, then it can be tested to be compatible with .chm (I can help with the testing).  If tests ok it could then be sent to Pelle to see if he could include it as a replacement or additional page with that format.

My guess is you want 0 - 63 across the top with 8 horizontal rows (2 rows each group)
