Re: html table, create wrapper div with class

sorry for the noise on this one.
After looking more closely at the template, I saw I could populate the
$class variable (and hence the attribute) with :

<xsl:template match="d:table" mode="class.value">
    <xsl:value-of select="'tabular-wrapper'" />
  </xsl:template>
