RE: [xsl] XSL XML Vertical Table Layout

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Something like this:

<xsl:template match="text">
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>Title:</td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td>
      <td rowspan="9"><img src="{book}"/></td>
    </tr> 
    <tr>
      <td>Author:</td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="author"/></td>
    </tr> 
    <tr>
      <td>Edition:</td>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="edition"/></td>
    </tr>

etc.

Pretty straightforward really.
