passing list of objects to visualforce page in different format.

hi guys, i need some help.

 

i need to pass a list of objects from the apex class to visualforce page.

so far, after searching around,  i can only find <apex:dataTable> and <apex:pageBlockTable> to display the objects in a table.

so for example:

 

 

public List<Contact> getContacts() {

     contactObjs = [SELECT name, address, phone from Companies

                             where id = :System.currentPageReference().getParameters().get('id')];

     return contactObjs;

}
 
 
 
then if i want to display it in a nice table i can easily use something like this:
 
 
<apex:pageBlock>

     <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Contacts}" var="con">

           <apex:column value="{!con.name}" />

           <apex:column value="{!con.address}" />

           <apex:column value="{!con.phone}" />

     </apex:pageBlockTable>

</apex:pageBlockTable>
 
 
but how if i want to display those objects like this:
 
name: qwer
address: qwer
phone: 123
 
name: asdf
address: asdf
phone 456
 
 
can anyone help me please? or tell me which documentation/pdf file should i read
thanks in advance.

Take a look at<apex:repeat>

I think aballard's  answer is the best. But don't forget that,  a table can have only one column.
It means you can use a table with one column for you purpose.

<apex:pageBlock>
     <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Contacts}" var="con">
         <apex:column>
               name:{!con.name}<br/>
               Address:{!con.address}<br/>
               Phone:{!con.phone}<br/>
         </apex:column>
     </apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
