I immediately thought HTML::Template or jQuery.
Here's an HTML::Template approach:
<table class="newsitems">
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Author</th>
</tr>
<tmpl_if list>
<tmpl_loop list>
<tmpl_if name="__odd__">
<tr style="background-color: #fff">
<tmpl_else>
<tr style="background-color: #eee">
</tmpl_if>
<td><tmpl_var title></td>
<td><tmpl_var author></td>
</tmpl_loop>
<tmpl_else>
<tr>
<td>No News Items recorded</td>
</tr>
</tmpl_if>
</table>
Another nice touch is to highlight rows as the mouse hovers over them:
CSS:
.follow_mouse tr:hover td { background: #A4D9F7; } /* light blue */
HTML:
<table class="follow_mouse">

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
