Hello

Hope this is the right place for my query, let me know if it's not.
I'm new to XML and am attempting to play around with some XSL code. The code is from a WC3 tutorial and the result can be seen at http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_xsl.asp. I am wanting to change the layout by putting the contents in a table with two columns (for no reason other than experimentation). I have attempted to do this using XSL-FO but have to admit I quickly became confused as how to code this. The XML code and original XSL code are pasted below. Can anyone tell me how I can dipslay the XML in tables using XSL-FO? I would be very grateful.

Regards

Don Logan

I have yet to fool around with xsl-fo. Its on my list of things to experiment with. Set up a wiki or test site and I'd be more than willing to throw some content in there.
