title: Skip <td> in HTML table
body: <p>Say I have the following table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;table&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;Example&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/td&gt;One&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;Example&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/td&gt;Two&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;Example&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/td&gt;Three&lt;/td&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
    &lt;tr&gt;
      &lt;!--
      Here I want to skip the first &lt;td&gt; cell; use only second. Example:
      &lt;td&gt;(empty, possibly &amp;nbsp;)&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;blah blah blah&lt;/td&gt;
      --&gt;
    &lt;/tr&gt;
  &lt;/table&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you read my comment in the last row, you can see that in the last row I want to display something in the second column of the table, with the first remaining empty. How would I go about doing this?</p>
  
  <p>As a side note, I read the question/answers in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2506342/is-it-good-to-put-a-nbsp-inside-an-empty-td">this SO question</a> but colspan is different from what I want. I'm also not familiar with css <code>empty-cell</code> so if that is a solution, please provide a bit of sample code.</p>
