URL?
You appear to be using a table to create whitespace. A less egregious
example would be to replace all that with <br><br>. I'd probably put the
margin-bottom on the element above it at 2em using CSS. Or it's own
block element at a margin-top of 2em.
Or I misunderstood your question which I've done plenty of times before.
