Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Row and cell color in print output


Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you had to customize
table.cell.properties in order to get background color in a cell.  That PI
should just work without any customization.  I was just wondering if part of
your customization was interfering with the handling of the bgcolor PI.  If
you haven't customized table.cell.properties, then you should be getting
"yellow" in your FO file table cell.  If you are using a customization
layer, do you still not get yellow when you use the 1.68.1 stylesheet
directly?

And looking at fo/table.xsl, I see that support for the bgcolor PI in table
rows was added (by me, no less).  I need to update that section in my book
to match the current stylesheet.  So that is why the row bgcolor works for
you.  But it is still a mystery why the cell bgcolor doesn't work.  Can you
send me a file (off list) that illustrates the problem?
