       i have to code a really big table (67 models of fiat, lancia
       and alfa with all of the technical details about every single
       model). i just tought i could make few arrays, like

       <?php

       $speed = "150 167 187 212..........";
       $speed_array = explode(" ", $speed);

       ?>

       and so on.

       then i coded <xtable> tag with a few 'for' loops in order to
       easily create whichever <table> i need. of course i could do
       it in perl, but i don't speak perl :-).

       after wmk i have :

 <:
{
    my $options = qq|border="1"|;
    my $tmpfile = "/tmp/wml.wwwtable.$$.tmp";
    local (*FP);
    open(FP, ">$tmpfile");
    print FP "\<\wwwtable $options>\n";
    print FP <<'__XTABLE__EOT'
(1, 1)
PANDA 1.1 4X4 KAT
(1, 2)
153.162.2
(1, 3)
40
(1, 4)
       etc etc

       which requires another pass 3. i read xtable docs and it is
       obvious why i need 2 passes no. 3.

       i tried few wml files with no PHP and wmk made just the right
       thing.

       yes, i know. thanks.
