 * Hi.
    I need a table inside a table 🙂 I made a table with WP Table Reloaded, 
   and manually made a HTML-table inside on of the cells, and that works ok. But
   there is a lot of white space before the new table. Look at [http://gode-is-opskrifter.dk/test](http://gode-is-opskrifter.dk/test)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post.
 * The reason for this are the line breaks in the HTML code. When that HTML code
   for the small tables is entered into WP-Table Reloaded, these get transformed
   to HTML `<br>` tags automatically. And this is was creates that large white space.
   
   To fix this, you’ll have to enter the code for the small tables in one line of
   text (if you drag the input field very wide), i.e. like
 *     ```
       <table><tr><td>...</td></tr><tr><td>...</td></tr></table>
       ```
   
 * instead of
 *     ```
       <table>
         <tr>
           <td>...</td>
         </tr>
         <tr>
           <td>...</td>
         </tr>
       </table>
       ```
   
 * Do you see what I mean? Everything has to be in one line, except for those line
   breaks that are added automatically by the browser due to the input field size.
 * Another option would be to also use WP-Table Reloaded for the small tables, and
   then just paste their Shortcodes into the big table.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
