RE: DOCBOOK-APPS: shading/coloring in tables?

Hi Scott,

You can specify colours for individual table cells in HTML/HTML Help output
using the entry-bgcolor processing instruction.  Just put this in the
appropriate table <entry>:

<?dbhtml entry-bgcolor="[your chosen colour code]"?>

I don't know is there anything similar for FO, though.

cheers,

Lisa

Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: shading/coloring in tables?


Folks,

I have quite a few legacy HTML documents that are being converted to
Simplified DocBook. Many of these contain complex tables, with multi-colored
cells. The colors actually help quite a bit with readability, so it is
important to preserve them if possible.

Is there anything that supports shading or colors in SDocBook/CALS tables?
Are colors/shades supported in both the HTML and FO stylesheets?

Thanks,
