Something strange with the [table] code

I don't see where the paragraph spaces come from. Does anybody know what is causing this and how to fix it?

[Roavin]

The spaces come, non-intuitively, from the line breaks between your "[/tr]" and "[tr]" tags. If you remove those, the paragraph spaces (<br> tags) disappear.

It worked, thanks a tonne.
