thank you very much,
i have been wondering how to add background to Tables 
i use this
<table frame=all pgwide="1"><title>PCM.to OSS.Device mapping</title>
<tgroup  cols="3">
<colspec colnum="1" colname="c1">
<colspec colnum="2"colname="c2">
<colspec colnum="3"colname="c3">
<spanspec  namest="c1" nameend="c2"spanname="c1c3">
<thead>
<row>
<entry><para>my stuff</para></entry>
<entry>my stuff</entry>
<entry>my stuff</entry>
</row>
</thead> 
<tbody> 
<row> 
<entry>my stuff</entry>
<entry>my stuff</entry>
etc
etc  
</row>
</tbody> 
</tgroup> 
</table> 
how do i do this 
norman once mentioned that this can be done and pointed to his website.
i got lost in that maze of information :-(
a little explicit help is most welcome .
also i remember him mentioning stylesheet to achieve this
how do i use style sheet 
as an ENTITY
like this <!ENTITY name of the stylesheet SYSTEM -//path..>
or is ti some other  method?
i would appreciate any help
thank you in advance.
