Table with more than one column

Summary Builds a table with more than one column based on the following-sibling

Well I'm hoping that this will help somebody out there, I've seen this question been made several times on the on-line discussion, so one more question trigger the writing of this snippet.

I'm not sure if this is the best solution, or even the only solution.

It will not behave correctlly if you try to add ordering the nodes, since it's based on position and the following-sibling.

The Ncols parameters defines how many columns you want to be outputed.
