I don't think you need div to do that under td - I think you 
should just be able to control from the td (let's say you 
want a td width of 300px):

html id :td :zz "style='width:300px'" :tx "My text"

or something like that - I only use :tx so I'm not sure of the 
fp html syntax above, so I would just write:

html id :tx "<td style='width:300px'>My text</td>"

But, of course, this only gives better control of the width 
of the td, and does not address guaranteed breaking of text 
after a certain number of source characters, I addressed 
in previous post.
