[xsl] Create dynamic table with 3 columns

Hello all,

I have a list of categories and Item and I have to divide the whole list in
to 3 columns.
Every column should start with category name and no category should exceed
with more than 10 items.

My sample XML is 
<Concepts>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 1">
                <Item>1</Item>
                <Item>2</Item>
                <Item>3</Item>
                .
                .
                .
                <Item>11</Item>
                <Item>12</Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 2">
                <Item>A</Item>
                <Item>B</Item>
                .
                .
                <Item>F</Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 3">
                <Item>item1</Item>
                <Item>item2</Item>
                <Item>item3</Item>
                <Item>item4</Item>
                <Item>item5</Item>      
                <Item>item6</Item>
                <Item>item7</Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 4">
                <Item>USA</Item>
                <Item>Canada </Item>
                <Item>Brazil</Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 5">
                <Item> Government </Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 6">
                <Item>item1</Item>
                <Item>item2</Item>
                <Item>item3</Item>
                .
                .
                <Item>item14</Item>
                <Item>item15</Item>
        </DetailList>
        <DetailList Category="CATEGORY 7">
                <Item>Minnesota</Item>
                <Item>New Jersey</Item>
                <Item>New Mexico</Item>
                <Item>South Carolina</Item>
        </DetailList>
</Concepts>

CATEGORY 7

New Jersey

South CarolinaHere I have not started CATEGORY 6 below CATEGORY 5
because all the 'items' inside that Category will not fit in to the second
column.There can be any number of categories and items.

I was able to generate the list of all the categories and
list but not sure how to divide them into three columns. 

Please let me know how should I proceed.

 

Thanks,
