Unfortunately, there is no tables support in the DSL format. Tables support is one of the weak spots in DSL format.

no tablet format, cannot support html tag...
Why use such a poor format ? Just because it is a pure-txt supported file?

One of the biggest reasons is a huge number of content available in this format.

Also, for most dictionaries it is OK not to have tables. Besides, having a very simple text-based format makes it very easy for 3rd party folks to create/convert dictionaries without any need for special tools.

As for HTML tag support, I'm not sure why it is needed. DSL format is very html-like, with very similar tags.

But I agree that proper support for tables and font sizes would be really nice.
