I am trying to use the repository module along with some jquery scripts to create a photo gallery.  The jquery script I am using looks for a unordered list that contains the images.  I created my own template to give the appropriate output but it does not work.  The problem I am having is that the repository module is rendering the header, footer, and item templates in separate tables.  Is there any way to disable this so there is no extra html added between the header and item templates? 

for most tokens there is a 'Raw' option which will process the token and output the raw data, no tags or other markup around the data. Maybe that will help you do what you want?

You can tell the token proccessing engine to produce 'Raw' output by preceeding the token name with a pound sign (#)

Example:
[TITLE]  will output the Title value of the current record surround with a span tag so that attributes by can applied such as Font, size, etc.

[#TITLE] will just output the raw data value of the Title

Hope that helps
