The Views Table style plugin works very well for most cases. However, it is restrictive when it comes to choosing how (for example) multiple nodes are to be tabulated as it demands that fields always be rendered as columns. This issue is routinely solved through the use of some PHP magickery in the table plugin's template file where row and column values are simply flipped. The FTable (Flipped Table) module attached to this post performs something similar albeit by declaring a separate FTable style plugin which reuses and extends the existing table plugin as much as possible.

The attached static module enables the use of "static" text fields in node types and other entities. Static fields are not exposed in the edit form and are only relevant during display. They serve as a convenient workaround to using theme template files to inject text into node and other views.

Static provides a textarea with an associated text format for each field. If necessary, token support can be added by way of other contributed modules.

This is more of a proof-of-concept than anything else and should be treated as such.
