I *was* beginning to have the feeling that I was barking up the wrong
tree - thanks for pointing me to StreamingMarkupBuilder.
I managed to get mixed markup working with a bit of jiggery pokery and
inferring its usage from DocGenerator.

How can I use MarkupBuilder to generate html elements that have both

I can't seem to locate any examples anywhere, but it's such an
essential case I'm sure it's supported.
Eg: <td class="foo">some content here</td>
mb = new MarkupBuilder()
mb.td(class:"foo") // yields <td class='foo' />
mb.td("some content here") // yields <td>some content here</td>
mb.td(class:"foo", "some content here") // yields <td class='foo' />
I believe there was an example on the wiki here
http://wiki.codehaus.org/groovy/TreeBasedSyntax but that page seems
to have disappeared today - at least it's been inaccessible to me
since this afternoon.
Though that's a very common use case, unfortunately, MarkupBuilder is
quite limited and cannot generate such simple tags.
You'll have to use StreamingMarkupBuilder which you can build from
Groovy sources (since in the last build, due to a build problem, this
class hasn't been included in the distribution).
To know how it works, you should have a look at DocGenerator.groovy in
the source distribution, there are some good examples of its usage.
