You want to process the outcome of a template, i.e. you want to process 
a "result tree fragment". With XSLT 1.0 this is not possible.
However - most processors offers a node-set extension function.

A possible approach would be
<xsl:template match="/">
<table><tr><td>
        <xsl:variable name="outcome">
	   <xsl:call-template name="example"/>
	</xsl:variable>
	<xsl:apply-templates select="xxx:node-set($outcome)" mode="verbatim" />
</td><td>
	<xsl:call-template name="example"/>
</td></tr></table>
</xsl:template>

Where xxx must be bound to a processor specific namespace.
Displaying the generated HTML uninterpreted has to be done step by step
in XSLT (with templates in mode "verbatim"). I think there are examples 
in the archives or the XSL FAQ.
If you want a more sophisticated solution, look at the implementation
of my xmlverbatim formatter:

Hope that helps,
