A server includes a logic subsystem and memory. The memory holds instructions that, when executed by the logic subsystem, cause the logic subsystem to determine if a table is wider than a viewing size of a screen of a requesting device, determine if the table is a data table or a layout table, and format an instance of the table prior to sending that instance of the table to the requesting device. The instance of the table sent to the requesting device is formatted in accordance with a determined viewing size of the screen of the requesting device and in accordance with a determined table type.
