Tables were introduced to HTML as a way to make textual data look more presentable on the screen. Things like statistics could be presented in neat rows and columns, making them easier to read.
Tables can also be used for web pages layouts, but the practice is now frowned upon. Some people even have a pathological hatred for layouts using tables. Don’t let this put you off, however. Using tables for layouts can actually be easier than using CSS! We won’t be using tables for web page layouts, though, but simply to present tabular data.
