I go back and forth between repeater controls and just using good ol' string
builders to build formatted output from a db query.

I'm working on a project where I'd really like to keep all the formatting
markup on the front-end for the non-.net folks to be able to updates.
Obvioudly, a repeater control makes a lot of sense for this.

The challenge is that this is an events list, so my data may be:

10/2/07 event
10/7/07 event
11/22/07 event
12/14/07 event

The above in a repeater is easy enough, but I need to insert a month before
each item that starts in a new month. So, it needs to look like this:

October 2007
2 event
7 event

November 2007
22 event

December 2007
14 event

Any best practices for accomplishing that via a repeater control and/or
another way to keep the front-end markup on the front end (ie, not
compiled)?

I could move my if/then logic to the front end and use response.write for it
all, but that doesn't seem a very 'modern' solution.
