Hi all,

I have an interesting and curious one. I think it hasn't show in the 
list before. If so, sorry for reiterate....

Suppose the following XML snip:
<body>
	<imagelist>
		<image href="img1.jpg"/>
		<image href="img2.jpg"/>
		......
	</imagelist>
	<paralist>
		<para>Blah, blah....</para>
		<para>Burli, burli...</para>
		....
	</paralist>
</data>

and I want to transform it in something like this:
<table>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<img src="img1.jpg"/>
		</td>
		<td>
			<p>Blah, blah....</p>
		</td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td>
			<p>Burli, burli....</p>
		</td>
		<td>
			<img src="img2.jpg"/>
		</td>
	</tr>
	.......
</table>

Please note that the image and paragraph lists don't have to be the 
same size.

Surprisingly (or not that surprise due to my condition of XSLT 
novice) I'm in trouble trying to get it working. Due to the intrinsic 
recursive nature of the XSLT templates, I don't imagine how to 
iterate through two node sets at the same time.

Suggestions, anyone?

Kind Regards
