{html_table} is a
custom function
that dumps an array of
data into an HTML table. The cols attribute determines
how many columns will be in the table. The table_attr,
tr_attr and td_attr values
determine the attributes given to the table, tr and td tags. If
tr_attr or td_attr are arrays,
they will be cycled through. trailpad is the value put
into the trailing cells on the last table row if there are any present.
