title: In what context would one prefer to use the CSS display: table properties rather than an HTML table?
body: <p>I read about <code>display: table</code>,<code>display: table-cell</code>, etc. <a href="http://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/d/display/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> but it did not go into much detail as to when using these properties would be preferable to using HTML table elements. I'm curious in what situation(s) the CSS display: table properties would be better.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: This question has been marked as a duplicate of this: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7988203/css-display-table-vs-normal-html-table">CSS display table vs normal HTML Table</a> but there is actually very little information on why the person asking the question doesn't want to use HTML tables. It's troubleshooting how to use the display:table properties.</p>
