This brings up something I was pondering the other day. If I have a long list of items that I wanted to display(from a DBI query), would it be possible to set up the template so that it was in a table of say 2 or 3 columns, rather than just a for loop of <tr><td>$result</td></tr> tags?

I don't think it can be solved easily in the state-driven TT2 parser, but it has already been "fixed" in the recursive descent TT3 parser. This is next on my list of TT3 modules to finish so hopefully we'll be able to graft the v3 parser into v2 at some point in the future.
