Then you should report the problem to the person or organization that is
responsible for the "framework", whatever it is.

Well, that's a problem _in the framework_, not in your code. So you should
first try to have the problem fixed where it is, before considering a
workaround (which might strike back the day when the real problem is fixed -
you might e.g. use a trick to reduce an assumed empty vertical space, and
what happens when the space is not there?).

(BTW, it should be and not   although the latter is, in this
context, formally valid in "classic HTML". But of course one should not use
for vertical spacing in the first place.)
Huh? Tables are block level elements by default, and you are not supposed to
try to change this except in rather special circumstances. _How_ should
things work when a table appears "inline"? URL, please. (You should have
posted a URL anyway.)
Besides, does _not_ cause a newline. Its basic meaning is actually
something completely different: it is meant to _prevent_ line breaks. In
this context it won't, but neither does it _cause_ a line break.
Or do you actually mean something completely different, namely removing the
"empty line" before the table? In that case, you _could_ do tricks like
<table ... style="margin-top: -1em">
but don't: they will strike back if the original problem is fixed. (Striking
back means that the start of the table will overstrike the end of the
content before it.)

_Somebody_ can and should fix the   issue.
