Tables should be used for tabular information only, with a header row or column (or both) to label the data. The example below uses both header rows and columns to indicate which type of author name format matches each citation style.
Author Name Format
| Style |
Format |

Temptingly easy though it may seem, do not use table to lay out content. Use a <div> with a float style applied instead (see Floatutorial)
