>   <imageList>
>	   <image>
>		   <imageName>image1.jpg</imageName>
>			   ... other image stuff like captions, etc. ...
>	   </image>
>	   <image>
>		   <imageName>image1.jpg</imageName>
>	   </image>
>		   ...
>	   <image>
>		   <imageName>image7.jpg</imageName>
>	   </image>
>   </imageList>

>And I would like to produce a table something like:
>   <table>
>	   <tr>
>		   <td>image1</td>
>		   <td>image2</td>
>		   <td>image3</td>
>	   </tr>
>	   <tr>
>		   <td>image4</td>
>		   <td>image5</td>
>		   <td>image6</td>
>	   </tr>
>	   <tr>
>		   <td>image7</td>
>	   </tr>
>   </table>

>Ideally, I'd like to be able to specify the # of columns, either by editing

>(depending on how many images in imageList).
