Re: Grouping a List into A Grid Structure

I tried to extrapolate the exact rules to transform between those two
formats, but I failed to do so. Could you please explain a bit
further?

  By the way, at first glance, it seems strange to want to loose
structure, from a more structured to less structured XML format.
Usually the question is the other way around.  But this is maybe
because I failed to see the relation between the two formats.
