The Shape of the Table

The shape of an HTML table is determined by the number of rows and columns it contains. Think of it like a grid composed of rows (horizontal lines) and columns (vertical lines). The table's shape can be rectangular, based on how many rows and columns are present, or more complex if some cells span multiple rows or columns. The overall appearance depends on the structure of this grid, including cell sizes and how cells are merged or aligned. So, the table's shape reflects the arrangement of its data, making it organized and easy to read.
