The reason why you don't see a lot of line breaks in the code before the table is most probably because the line breaks are all in the code for the table.
I've had the same problem before but it was with AMS. Anyway, the reason is this: the text you entered into the content page is sent through a parser and the parser adds the
tag to the lines that have a line break at the end of the line, including HTML code. So you can observe that there are many
tags amongst your table code.
Strangely, the browser interprets this as line breaks before the table. So the solution will be to put all HTML code in a single line to prevent
tags from being added into the table.
