Jujube, layout tables are a very antiquated form of designing web
pages. They are now quite depricated, their function long ago having
been replaced by stylesheets.

This is *very* different from tabular data.

The option to announce layout tables is off by default in NVDA which further
supports my guess that they are used for formatting and wouldn’t give useful
information to the typical user.

Subject: [nvda] Quick Question About Layout Tables

Hi everyone,

I'm just curious about something. What exactly are layout tables and how are
they different from normal/regular tables? I've found them helpful for
making some tabular info on the web more accessible, but I'm curious as to
what they really are. Thanks.
