Well I decided to look at it from a different angle. Instead of trying to manipulate the table itself I decided to manipulate the text. I used a span tag and the style “display:inline-block” to get the text to create it’s own new paragraph. After doing more research on how the display:block tag works at W3C (W3.org) I found that tables given the “display:inline-block” tag simply ignore it while text is affected by it. So my code looked like this:
<span style=”display: inline-block;”>PARAGRAPH TEXT</span>
