DOCBOOK-APPS: shading/coloring in tables?

[Scott Hudson <Scott.Hudson@Sun.COM>]

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,
