Hi Bryan, cl-who does have limitations, and one of them I've found is that it works best if you know a priori the structure you're generating. Putting items into a table in HTML, unfortunately, doesn't quite have this property. Still, you can certainly use it for that, especially if you don't mind nesting loops -- maybe something like: (defun gridify (x &optional (col 5)) "given a list of strings, put them in an html table (returned as a string) with |col| columns." (with-html-output-to-string (var nil) (:table (loop for xp on x by (lambda (p) (nthcdr col p)) do (htm (:tr (loop for i upto (1- col) for xi in xp do (htm (:td (str xi)))))))))) (gridify (loop for i from 1 upto 50 collect (format nil "cell #~D" i))) cheers, - Ken
