A comment on Small guide to making nice tables [pdf].
- Avoid vertical lines
- Avoid “boxing up” cells, usually 3 horizontal lines are enough: above, below, and after heading (see examples in this guide)
- Avoid double horizontal lines
- Enough space between rows
- If in doubt, align left
I agree with this, although some of his examples I would tweak slightly, and sometimes I wonder about how much better "align left" ends up working.
