Ignoring your errors above (and in most of your other examples), such as where you wrote "<th>1</td>", This is a reasonable idea, but it may need some improving. Question 1. To write the equivalent of rowspan="3" (or colspan) would you just add additional <tc/> elements with the same tref value? eg. <table> <tr><th>1</td><th>2</th><th>3</th></tr> <tr><th>4</td><td id="a">5<br />8</td><td>6</td></tr> <tr><th>7</td><tc tref="a" /><td>9</td></tr> <tr><th>10</td><tc tref="a" /><td>12</td></tr> </table> Question 2. What would happen if an author used a <tc/> element with a reference to a non-adjacent cell? like this: <table> <tr><td id="a">1</td><td>2</td><tc tref="a"/></tr> </table> CYA ...Lachy!
