shr.el renders tables.

The algorithm is rather slow for deeply nested tables, though. It
basically does a search of the entire "table space" to find the best
layout, and that's not the most efficient way to do it.
Sorry, i don't quite follow -- are you talking about the algorithm in
shr.el or the one in w3m? I get the impression (being mostly ignorant
re table-layout algorithms in general and too lazy at the moment to look
at source code) that w3m's is somewhat directed. In STORY.html, the w3m
author characterizes it as "fair", rather than "perfect", so perhaps its
heuristics can be tweaked (further) to better adapt it to an Emacs Lisp
implementation, if need be. If only Someone would muster a try...
