            v = float(val)
        except:
            return False
        return True

    fullText = ''

    fullText += '<table class="talib" style="width:100%">\n'

    l = 0
    numArgs = 0
    for arg in kwargs:
        l = len(kwargs[arg])
        numArgs += 1

    fullText += '  <tr>\n'
    fullText += '      <th colspan="%d">%s</th>\n' % (l, title)
    fullText += '  </tr>\n'

    fullText += '  <tr>\n'
    fullText += '      <th></tj>\n'
    fullText += '      <th colspan="%d">%s</th>\n' % (numArgs - numOutput - 1, 'Input')
    fullText += '      <th colspan="%d">%s</th>\n' % (numOutput, 'Output')
    fullText += '  </tr>\n'

    fullText += '  <tr>\n'
    for arg in kwargs:
        fullText += '      <th>' + arg + '</th>\n'
    fullText += '  </tr>\n'

    i = 0

    while i < l:
        fullText += '  <tr>\n'

        for arg in kwargs:
            val = kwargs[arg][i]
            if (isFloat(val)):
                fullText += '    <td align="right">%.2f</td>\n' % val
            else:
                fullText += '    <td align="right">%s</td>\n' % val
