[PATCH] manual: How to refer to tables in other files

[William Denton]

Attached is a very small update to the docs about how to refer to tables in 
other files.  Probably there's something wrong with the formatting, but git 
send-email didn't work, and I hope the Changelog entry gets through.

Why the Nu HTML Checker line got included I don't know ... some whitespace 
thing, I guess.

Bill
