RE: Growing fast
The browser wars broke the table functions. Almost all my early html 3 was with tables and frames, but that was 15 + years ago, so very steep re-learn curve to climb.

The problem about the TABLE tag wasn't about Internet Explorer vs Netscape. It was that TABLE was used as a visual tool instead of a semantic one. HTML tags must be used in a semantic way. Luckily CSS helped get those designs the rigght way -unless you were using FrontPage, of course xDDD-.
My wife like using AOL press fro her HTMLing, me I only used note pad even way back then. I tried a couple of the html programs, but the results were not that good, they always went the kirby route the more complicated to use it, the more tools to switch out of or into, the better. For some reason people think complicated is better than the KISS principle.
I do feel like I am learning a lot though, learning more CSS than relearning HTML but My page is coming along just fine. I think.
Must is a strong word for an opinion. (; Just saying.
HTML is a loose language, there aren't many musts... Like why some people still close
<br>tags with a /.. which is purely optional as xhtml lost the wars and backwards compatible will always be a thing. Unless you insist that I MUST force you to use JS to render some elements on your page. LoL sorry if I'm being a bit too serious on a random post from 2+ weeks ago, just saw it and the MUST there broke my brain... LoL. Talk about triggered. I blame Trump, his own spin on fake news and loose interpretation of "facts" along with meullers talk today has me all UnSocialJusticeWarrior'd out. Have a beautiful day, and just remember, opinions aren't facts, and tables can be used for markup, as html is a markup language, not a markdown language. It all really boils down to how close we choose to focus after zooming in or out on the topic.Read the specification: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/tables.html#the-table-element
