Answer 1

if you want the same but using table:

    
a
b
    

    
a
    

you can style your table and its cells as you like with paddings, margins, etc:

.TABLE-DEFAULT{    
    border          : 0px;
    border-collapse     : separate;
    border-spacing      : 0px;
    width           : 100%;
    background          : transparent;
}

.TABLE-DEFAULT td{
    padding: 4px;

}

.TABLE-DEFAULT td:FIRST-CHILD{
    padding: 0px;

}
.....etc
