[Chameleon] Table widget

[Paul Spencer]

Berend,

this is because we use an xml parser to parse this stuff, it is not 
valid to put (for instance) content="<table>" ... the standard XML way 
of encoding this stuff is:

<template name="header"><![CDATA[
<table>
]]></template>
<template name="body"><![CDATA[
<tr>
  <td>%colname_1%</td>
  <td>%colname_2%</td>
</tr>
]]></template>
<template name="footer"><![CDATA[
</table>
]]></template>


the <![CDATA[  ...   ]]> is an XML construct that tells an XML parser to 
treat the contents as character data and not try to interpret it as XML.

Cheers,

Paul
