formatting of lists

Dear community

I have following problem.

It is a list of elements given e.g.

  <people>
    <person id="id1" name="John"/>
    <person id="id2" name="Peter"/>
    <person id="id3" name="Anne"/>
    <person id="id4" name="Joan"/>
    <person id="id5" name="Pit"/>
    <person id="id6" name="Jeff"/>
    <person id="id7" name="Chris"/>
    <person id="id8" name="Elke"/>
    <person id="id9" name="Mark"/>
    <person id="id10" name="Frank"/>
    <person id="id11" name="Tom"/>
    <person id="id.." name=".."/>
  </people>

The aim is to generate a table in HTML with 3 or 4 columns but so many rows as
necessary.
Like that:
    <table>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>John</td>
          <td>Peter</td>
          <td>Anne</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Joan</td>
          <td>Pit</td>
          <td>Jeff</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Chris</td>
          <td>Elke</td>
          <td>Mark</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>Frank</td>
          <td>Tom</td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

Sorry but I have no idea how to do that with xslt :(
I am thankful for every help.

Many thanks in advance

  Dieter
