Dear Jake,
I just found your message advising us to leave tables in tact. As long as we
don't mess with the content, if the tables are easier to read as text, is it
too bad a thing to convert them to text? Really, the tables I get while
validating often have errors which are a bear to tackle within the table
format, and I'd regret having to reconvert back to a table after I corrected it
because I think they are a nightmare for visual readers, as in low vision
visual readers...
I'm asking permission to break the rules, but admit that if I don't get it, I
might go underground in good conscience.
Always with love,
Lissi

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Clarification on Tables
Hi everyone,
Recently there were some questions about tables in Bookshare books. The
Bookshare tools do in fact recognize tables, so please leave tables in tact
where there should be tables. The VM does mention tables as they relate to
scanning (in section 4), but I'll see if there is a better place to mention it,
perhaps in the section about cleaning up books, which would apply to both
scanners and validators.
Sincerely,
Jake
