Hello.

I have an input XML that looks something like:

<data>
	<item>
		<title>This is the title</title>
		<total>18</total>
		<date>2002-05-02</date>
	</item>
	<item>
		<title>This is the second title</title>
		<total>12</total>
		<date>2002-05-01</date>
	</item>
	<item>
		<title>This is the third title</title>
		<total>15</total>
		<date>2002-05-01</date>
	</item>
</data>

I would like to output this as:

2002-05-02 ... This is the title ................ 18
2002-05-01 ... This is the second title ......... 12
2002-05-01 ... This is the third title .......... 5

I've been unable to find a simple way in XSL to do the padding that
I want.  I can live without the space at the beginning and end of
the ....

is there any way that I can do this?

Thanks,

Eric.
