OK. Strange. I see the table OK in FF on the wiki talk page.
One thing I notice looking at the html again is I set the border not
very thick at: border="2px solid black". Probably something like 5px
would be better, but this might not be related at all to what you see.
Please let me know if I can help.

the table as it appears is a bit clunky and i was going for something a
bit sleeker looking ... did you notice that border="2px solid black" is
having difficulty? try changing black to red or solid to dashed and see
what i mean. btw: going from 2px to 5px works tho. i even tried using
inline style="yada-yada" and no joy either. that is what i meant by
wiki-ism ... somethings work some don't. since inline style is not
considered best practice these days i created the following style:
.lined {
margin: auto;
background-color: transparent;
text-align: center;
border-bottom: 1px solid #efefef;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
the wiki doesn't render faint grey lines that border-bottom: 1px solid
#efefef; specifies but works great as standalone html page ... again
with the wiki-ism

OK. I changed to a border of 5 and dropped the border color
specification as it seemed to be ignored in the wiki as you suggested.
I'm not though seeing anything like the image you posted. The table now
and prior looked alright to me. I've tested the current talk page in IE,
Edge, Chrome, Firefox and Silk. All look OK to me.
I have noticed for other tables in our wiki we have gone without borders
- the pavement pattern for example. Doing that here too is an option.

well ... maybe toooo i'm hung up on having wiki presentation looking as
close as possible to the distribution, so how's this sound as an
alternate proposal?
how about modifying the file ~scenes/textures/pattern/tiling.pov that's
already in the distribution! i see #declare TilingPattern = Value; so
just test that variable in a switch/case block then group like scaling
factors together by the case test (there are several) and assign scaling
to a new variable.

and TileTypes respectively from the Tiling Pattern image in the docs. i
plugged in a few values and i agree with what i see others ... wellll
maybe not
give it a whirl and see if the results are what you intended

Actually it should be `#case (1) #case (2)`. Nothing in between. If you use
#case (1)
ANYTHING
#case (2)
WHATEVER
#break
you'll effectively get `ANYTHING WHATEVER` for a value of 1, and
`WHATEVER` for a value of 2.
