This filter is similar to the plain HtmlFilter, except if generates reports based on TABLE tags as opposed to absolutely-positioned DIV tags. The resulting files are usually less accurate than the ones created with the plain DIV-based HtmlFilter, but they have three significant advantages:

1) TABLE-based reports are easier to edit in regular HTML editors. You can easily insert rows for example.

2) TABLE-based reports support clipboard operations better. For example, you can copy report sections in the browser and paste them into Excel.

3) TABLE-based reports support vertical alignment within fields.
