[l2h] table borders

[Wouter van Gils]

I once faced a similar problem with dcolumn and html layout. You
could try something like this:

\begin{htmlonly}
 \begin{tabular}{p{3cm}lllll}
\end{htmlonly}
%begin{latexonly}
 \begin{tabular}{p{3cm}d{3}d{3}d{3}d{3}d{3}}\\
%end{latexonly}


then you are able to create 'latex' style tables for paper and
'html' tables for the web.... it works for me.
