problem generating html table via xslt

[T. Sander]

Hi !

I have the following XML-fragment :

<DL>
<DT>term 1 </DT>
<DD>def 1</DD>
<DT>term 2 </DT>
<DD>def 2</DD>
<DT>term 3 </DT>
<DD>def 3</DD>
</DL>

and want to generate a table similar to :

<html>
<body>
<table border="12">
<TR>
<TD>term 1</TD>
<TD>def 1</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>term 2</TD>
<TD>def 2</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>term 3</TD>
<TD>def 3</TD>
</TR>
</table>
</body>
</html>

So I am looking for a xsl template to generate this HTML table without using any <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;/TD>&lt;TD></xsl:text> or similar.

Thanks for any comments

start { # Usage: start tag att=value ...

xml -s start -d middle -e end '<DL>...</DL>'
