Mambo: how can you sto it using tables for layout?

I've just setup Mambo for testing but I'm finding that it puts all content in a tables. Infact, it uses a lot of tables for layout, but my website heavily uses CSS for layout. Does anyone know how can I stop Mambo generating tables for content?

Thanks,
Dan

It does use CSS for customisation and I was very surprise at how much you can actually do with it, but for some reason insted of using divs with classes it uses tables with classes. Are there any hacks or modules to stop this happening?

Thanks mate

I've been speaking to a few people on there and it seems like a common problem, but it should be resolved by the next version. Not sure when that's coming out though

Thanks again,

Joomla looks a lot better (in the sense of the larger community) but it seems to still use tables to wrap up main content. I'll download it and give it a try.
