blank line inserted in odd places

hi folks...

I'm checking out HTML Tidy for the first time and I'm noticing something
odd: blank lines before <td> and <tr> tags _after_ they follow </td> and
</tr> tags.  Is there any way to prevent this?

tia!

example:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
               <tr>
                    <td colspan="2">Header</td>
               </tr>

               <tr>
                    <td rowspan="3"><img src="images/blank.gif" width="15"
height="1" alt="" border="0" /></td>

                    <td>SubItem 1</td>
               </tr>

               <tr>
                    <td>SubItem 2</td>
               </tr>

               <tr>
                    <td>SubItem 3</td>
               </tr>
          </table>
