Tables

Without support for HTML tables in current versions has anyone attempted to represent tables using TLF in any other way with success?

Specifically inline tables - so that we can import a document with appropriate mark up for TLF to display that also could contain tabular data.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest looking in the Flex Gumbo components, or seeing if you can adapt a DataGrid. Basically, what you need is an external entity that can keep track of the cells, and then if you treat each cell as a separate TextFlow, you can manage it separately. If this is what you do, and you have large tables, you will probably want to optimize it so that only those cells that are visible are instantiated. DataGrid will (I think!) do this for you if it can be adapted.
