 * Any help appreciated: I want to be able to display the date and group of posts
   within that date in a table with two columns. The date in one column and the 
   posts in another. The problem is I don’t know how to include the HTML to close
   the cell, row and table tags after group of posts in that date within the loop.
   Is this possible?
 * Here is a basic outline of what I want for each date:
 *     ```
       <table>
       <tr>
       <td>
   
       THE DATE
   
       </td>
       <td>
   
       POSTS LISTED HERE
   
       </td>
       </tr>
   
       </table>
       ```
   
 * So my template code is along the lines of:
 *     ```
       <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   
       <?php the_date('j F', '<table><tr><td>', '</td><td>'
   
       <?php the_title(); ?> etc... etc...
   
       <!--THIS IS WHERE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CODE TO CLOSE THE TABLE AT THE END OF THE DATE->
   
       <?php endwhile; ?>
   
       <?php endif; ?>
       ```
   
 * If I close the TD, TR and TABLE tags where I currently have the comment it adds
   them to the end of every post listed.
 * Thanks in advance for any help.
