Interesting error with nested tables.

[Dave Bryson <da...@miceda-data.com>]

Hi all,

I've just ran into an interesting error with a nested tables.
 
A nested table like so:
 <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">
   <tr>
    <td bgcolor="#000000">  
     <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
      <tr> 
        .....
causes the following error:

<pre>
org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.TokenMgrError: Lexical error at line 22, column 29.  Encountered: "\n" (10), after : "\">  "
	at org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.ParserTokenManager.getNextToken(ParserTokenManager.java:2685)

</pre>

Once I removed the outer table the problem went away. 

Any once else seen this?
