I used the standard tabular environment to do some tables. These are
formated using {|l|l|}.

For the dvi file I can controll the horizontal lines with \hline.

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
my text & something else \\
for two lines &  \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

In the html version the horizontal lines are added automatically.
(The text in the first column is separated by a line ).

So I tried to write 

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|}
\hline
my text \newline for two lines & something else \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

This gives the correct output in the html version, but results in a 
one line entry in the dvi file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a solution to this problem? I don't want to use the
...|p{5cm}|... option because I want the width calculation to be done by
latex.

Regards, Steffen
