The new forthcoming version 0.3 of the PGTEI converter already does this. (with a little help from the markup: you have to manually specify the width of the column.)

I saw that in the preliminary document you sent me, Marcello. I haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet. (US Thanksgiving holiday has put me behind) Dumb, off-the-top-of-my-head question: Would it be possible for the converter to assume that if no manual width is specified, that it should just divide the table width by the number of columns and apply that value automatically to each column? That way, if a quick-and-dirty table will work, no further markup is needed. But if special formatting is needed (perhaps for a really big, complex table?), the etext preparer can take the time to do so. Josh
