Traversing through a table

Let's say I've got a table called scratchpad.fruit and within the
fruit table I've got names and values that look like this
Name Value
apple red, crunchy, round
grape green, soft, oval
I want to generate HTML code from the table that looks like this
<TABLE>
<TR><TD>apple <TD>red <TD>crunchy <TD>round
<TR><TD>grape <TD>green <TD>soft <TD>oval
</TABLE>
I can do the nitty-gritty about extracting values from a
comma-delimited string and returning the generated HTML text. What I
would like some advice on is how to traverse the table. Should I use
table.visit() or a target.set() and table.go() or something else? Or
should I approach this a different way? (I'm trying to get a table of
information in Frontier processed for a web page. I thought about
using an outline, but the information in an outline is too vertical
(visually) and I wanted to see it within Frontier more like a
spreadsheet)
