I've the same problem, I've taken the html and parsed it before "importingToFlow". The output sting for each cell is a custom "textFlow" that I just set the x,y values making it look like a table.

If there's a better wa someone can tell me please let me know!

I've heard another way of doing this is to render each cell as a different TLF container. How do you think this would effect performance?

You can do this, and on small to medium sized tables I would expect that would be OK. If you have large tables, you would definitely want to set it up so that only those cells that are visible are instantiated & drawn as TextLines.

Sorry, TLF does not support tables. We hope to someday.
