title: Setting td colspan to half spaces
body: <p>The title is a little misleading but I want to set the colspan of a table cell to a half integer. I know this can't be done so I was thinking of adding a blank cell after each real cell. Then setting colspan = 8 should give me what looks like a half space.</p>
  
  <p>Ie [1][][2][][3][][4]
     [--------]</p>
  
  <p>Will this work  or is there a better way?</p>
