Hello,

You can try to write a XSL stylesheet to convert your XML document to HTML. Go to http://www.zvon.org/xxl/XSLTutorial/Output/index.html for a XSL tutorial. Alternatively you can write your document as a Docbook XML document and use the existing Docbook XSL stylesheets to convert it to any of many other formats: HTML, XHTML, PDF, etc. See the description of the table element in Docbook http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/table.html and the capabilities of the Docbook XSL stylesheets for this and other elements http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/Tables.html.

Hope that heps,
Sorin
